Stiffed on Ebay

Was he the only bidder? If not, did you try the second chance option for
the next highest bidder?

No, there were many bidders.

I didn't know you could do a "second chance option" for the next-highest
bidder? Is there a time limit on doing that?

It would seem unlikely that the second highest bidder would still be looking
for a transponder a month later, but I suppose it was worth trying. I've
already re-listed it, though...

Just look at the list of who bid. Got stiffed by the high bidder? Go to
the next guy on the list and offer it to him for what he bid. It's cheaper
than relisting and saves time.

The purchase should be consummated within a few days for something as cheap
as a transponder. When I sell stuff I better hear from you within 24 hours
and payment made within a few days, unless other arrangements are made. If
not then you get negative feedback and I move on.

I've been using eBay for some time . . . have 135 positive feedbacks and no
neutrals or negatives . . . bought and sold about equally.
Never had any problem as buyer or seller.

One good thing from your post, Jay . . .
the GTX327 transponder is fantastic! I've had mine for more than 2 1/2 years
and it is a joy to fly with.

I flew up to Keene, New Hampshire today.
NH is one of the ONLY states where real fireworks can still be legally
purchased. :-)

Can you define "real" fireworks please? Here in easern Missouri (or Missour
AH for some of you) we have a lot of fireworks tents his time of year.
Firecrackers, rockets, roman candles, aerial displays, and the less violent
sparklers, smoke bombs, fountains and other quiet stuff.

Is there somehing more interesting (excitin' and loud) available in your
neck o' the woods?

In New Hampshire, you can still purchase the real mortars and big stuff used by
Zambelli and the other pros . . . the stuff used in the big city 4th of July
shows.

They used to be available in Pennsylvania, but a few years ago, those were
outlawed there, too.

You can buy them in any state, you just need an ATF permit or license (there
is a difference) and approved storage.
Setting them of is under the jurisdiction of the local fire department.
Display fireworks are not outlawed in any state.

I drove down to Afton WY from Jackson one time for a ride in a Husky.
Lonely road! I was especially bemused by the sign in front of a
roadside enterprise: FIREWORKS AND REAL ESTATE.

Hey, that's a great deal. They'll sell you the fireworks *and* a place to set them
off!

....and a new place to live once you burn the first place down.

I s'pose I've been lucky. I've bought and sold lots of stuff via ebay and
it has been a great aid to getting pilot goodies. I've even sold items for
a couple of thousand and was paid, promptly.
