There seems to be alot of new members showing up for 2 days and running away with hundreds of dollars from you guys. There are a few things I personally do that may help you:

1. Get a working tele #. I call that # BEFORE I send pay for any large $ purchase.

2. DO NOT assume the P.O. Box # you have can help you. Be sure you have his/her physical address as well.

3. Ask for any off-site trader feeback such as Ebay to confirm good reputations. I also have a working e-mail for any unkown buyers.

4. If you are trading parts consider using a Liason. This means you send pay/parts to a neutral 3rd party and he send products to that address as well. The 3rd party can send the pay and products out when both are received.

5. Check trader feedback. There are alot of guys that have spent the last 2-3 yrs on this site. They arent likely to be the ones that send you a Cobra pipe when you bought a Sparks X6. If he has 1 post be wary....


Good luck and happy buying and selling!

Sad but true; some ppl make a living screwing others out of hard earned cash.
