A handheld vhf with Lith battery for $30.00?
What am I missing here?

The description looks legit. Who is the seller?

It's cheaper than a new battery for my old handheld!

 

[MYTraveler]

That seller looks fraudulent to me. Too many red flags.

 

[alormaria]

Yes, the closer you look the stranger it gets.

Pretty much says it all!

I always dreamed of getting a case of cheap 30 dollar handhelds and tossing them into the cockpits of sailboats (and occasional power) on the ICW like the Johnny Appleseed of better communications.

Yep. I think it's definitely fraudulent.
