Some time back I started saving call signs of people I had good deals with. I am proud to say there are 135 calls on that list, that says a lot for the honest hams that buy, sell, and trade on the ham sites.
But.......yes there is a but..
.
I also started saving a list of call signs of discourtous hams. These are the guys that don't reply to emails, or otherwise leave a bad taste in your mouth. This list is much smaller, but it is surprising to read ads posted by these individuals, and all they say, knowing how they treat potential buyers.
What does this mean, mostly nothing, but its interesting. I would encourage others to try it, you will be shocked.
