Philip Rivera has stated in the QTH feedback forum that he "sent me photo's of the radio prior to the sale". Here is the complete email thread between him and I which proves that statement is simply not true.
You do what you have to do, but if you keep the radio for an extended period of time, then it is a done deal.

Richard,
I am very sorry to hear you feel that way. I never had a problem selling anything on qth or qrz over 700 post on qrz, not everyone has the same opinion of the scale of condition of an item. I feel the radio is in very good condition and 100% operational. If you want to send the radio back, you will get your refund, but I will get it done my way. I will leave it up to you.
This transaction has taken longer than ANY I have had in a long time, but I am willing to work it out.

Philip I am absolutely at loss for words. I am going to remove all the emotion out of this reply and just state what I feel is the bottom line. Please send me the exact amount that I sent you for the radio. I will send the radio back via UPS insured int he same box using the same packing material you sent it in. I will agree to pay all cost associated with shipping the radio back.
I have taken over 60 pictures and sent them to 8 people who are instrumental in running QTH. I have been phoned by 3 and have received email from the other 5. I included your original add in my emails with the pictures and ALL agree that this radio is less than a 6 out of 10 and was Grossly mis-represented in your qth add.
Under no circumstances will I send the radio back and Hope I receive a refund at some later date.
I await your reply prior to taking further action.

Well,
Richard, the radio never been mobile, the marks on the side came from bracket when it was mounted here below the shelf. That is why I did not say MINT the radio is in very good condition.
IF you want to return it is fine, but I will have to refund you when I resell it. It will not take me long to sell it, I had over 5 buyer when I sold it to you. I already invested the funds from that radio on another radio. that's the way I will work it if you like.

Phil, I just opened the radio. It made the trip fine, good packing. However it is not remotely as described in your add. Your add clearly stated "near mint" and "never been mobile". Attached is a picture of one side of the radio. This radio does not meet a standard rating guide utilized in the QTH forums of a 7 out of 10 much less "near mint".I would like to return it exactly as it was shipped only I will send it via UPS insured. I would like a full refund of the original purchase price.

I just came out of the Post Office where I shipped your radio from. They did a trace, and told me your Postal folks there left a notice on 11/20/2009 that was two days after I shipped it.
I shipped to the address you gave me on the e-mail you sent. The package is at your Post Office. Give them this label number # VH642675209us
Please let me know what you come up with.

Another day with no radio. I am becoming concerned and stopped by the local post office who told me that normal priority would have delivered last friday from most zips in florida, and all zips in florida by Sat. They told me that you should have a priority receipt that your post office could use to locate the package.

Richard,
I wanted to let you know that the 706 is on the way, went out today via u.s.p.o priority mail insured. you should have it in a few days. Please let me know when you receive it.
Also, I forgot to put the $10 in the box, so I sent you the funds ($10 ) via paypal you should have it already. I was not able to located the mounting hardware (screws ) for the brackets my daughter had used them to mount bracket on shelf and no where to be found, so I added a couple of extras in the box you might be able to use.
one more thing, the rig was always used QRP (low power) about 10watts. when you get it set-up you need to go in the menu and put it on high if you want 100watts, that was on HF.
other than that you are good to go.
