I’ve unboxed over MANY Amazon returned radios, and they’ve all been great… until today.
In this video, I reveal exactly how I got "taken" on a return deal. When I picked up the box, I knew something was wrong—it was just too light. What I found inside wasn’t a radio at all, but a 3D-printed mockup designed to trick the return system. This is a side of the "resell" game that people don’t often talk about: Amazon Return Fraud.
Watch as I walk through the vetting process, show you the fake 3D-printed rig, and explain why being an honest used gear seller means taking these hits so my customers don’t have to.
