    I was doing it through Ebay but since i was in Florida for so long, i had no idea that there were people waiting for stuff from me so i have 2 cases open right now. Not sure what that means for me but it sounds bad. Plus, with all the different meters i have and how heavy some of this stuff is, its just a problem for me. Id rather sell it to some of your guys on here

    You might check this place out. They carry old military equip. and anything related to some form of radio equip. And they have been known to buy sometimes. The Ft Wayne ham operators used to love to go picking around over there.

    If you are going to sell on ebay you need to be very mindful of what is going on. I have the ebay app for my phone with alerts. If I have a problem I am aware of it right away and am able to respond quickly. I have had a few returns and a couple of cases. Quick response by me has resolved them and I move on. I sell used stuff so I expect to have returns, its just part of this business. Mike

    Well, it was either stay home and dont do the job or end the bidding and hope someone wants it later. Stupid me forgot to end it before i left though. Didnt realize i was only going to get 2 hours to prepare for a month in Florida...

    It sounds as if the ham radio folks would be the most likely buyers for your gear.

    Here's a website with info on the ham radio clubs in your area: Ham Radio Clubs in SE Michigan | WA2HOM.

    You could also try out the "swapmeet" (forum marketplace listings) at Callsign Database by QRZ.COM.

    eham.net is a good place to list but being a ham on that site is nearly a requirement. Mike
