Hi All

I was browsing ebay looking for a uhf radio and found this UH7760NB with aerial for $199 with free express delivery,
sounds really good especially when all others are around the nearly $300.00 mark, what do you guys reckon

That is a good buy, Prestigecom are listing the same unit at $279.40 without the aerial. I have been looking at this model myself to replace my Icom IC440 which is only 40ch, I have the Uniden 5w handheld and it's very solid. Just check the seller's feedback as with all eBay purchases.

One to keep an eye on for sure....anyone installed one of these before?

Looks like a good price. Seller is on Kangaroo Island. It's an unusual place to be selling from.

Seller also doesn't have any other items listed yet claims "We are your UHF Radio Specialists" in the listing. As AMTS pointed out Kangaroo Island does seem to be an odd location to be selling from.

I bought the Uniden UH 7760NB off Ebay for $245 with no antenna...

$199 with antenna is a great price!

Cheers,

It should be ok if you use PayPal and have payment after delivery. Even if they are dodge you don't end up out of pocket in most cases.
Usually if the seller is dodgy they won't offer PayPal and they will want you to do direct deposit or similar.

I'm waiting for the seller to reply to my questions re warranty, etc. Paypal aside if it goes kaput you want some recourse from the manufacturer or distributor so I'd like to know if this is legit AU stock as per the "3 YEAR UNIDEN AUSTRALIA DEALER WARRANTY" statement in the listing.

It's only $199.00... Just do it fido

I may have a Kakadu but it doesn't mean I can afford to throw money away LOL.

I didn't tell you to throw it away!

I'm just saying take the plunge and get yourself a bargain. If I hadn't already bought mine I would buy it for that price!

I didn't tell you to throw it away!

If the seller turns out to not be legit or these units have no AU warranty then I will be. If the seller has nothing to hide they will answer my questions and all will be fine.

ETA: He's copied GadgetCity's listing for starters :-
