I don't want to jump the gun, but it could vary well be. He talks as if he has no clue what the syntor really is, maybe he really doesn't, but I would be aware since he has a picture from this site and it provides 2 syntors, when his description only mentions one. Also he states he doesn't know what the freq is but yet he can find the picture on this site so why couldn't he find the model number?? The only thing that makes me think it is not him is the use of capitial letters. This guy accually uses them.

Well, I changed my mind after reading his other auctions for sale. I think it is the saem person, notice how on the CDM he has for sale offers,
ALSO USE BY IT NOW AND GET A 50 WATT POWER PACK ALSO
He always offers something extra if you use Buy it Now. and then he also has a Brand new Morning pride Bunker coat??? It states he has all sizes, just Email. I happen to know that even if your Fire Department did get an overstock on Turnout Gear, Their not just going to give it away. If anything thay would phase out their old stuff and keep the new. Enless that department is a really stupid department. I really doubt that any department even stupid ones would do that. plus his price for them is really Under retail price.

How does that saying go about things that sound too good to be true??

eBay at it's finest:
Me: "What exactly is a 900Mhz UHF CB?"
Them: "A very nice CB at 900Mhz speed!"

Seller has shades and NO feedback. Why the change? Combined with the technical inconsistencies it spells "STAY AWAY."

Shades just means he has changed his name, nothing more. Not uncommon for new people. Signup with your email address then want to pick an alias instead of email address to cut back on spam. this user has only been a

I figured it was an idiot that didn't know what he was selling, I would've loved to snag a dual syntor setup for that price... but common sense prevailed and I didn't bid.

Is this the same person?
Something struck me as odd, don't know what, just had a funny feeling about this auction:
