Guys let this thread be a reminder of how to use your sixth sense when dealing with sellers that aren't known members of the community.

At the first sign of 'weirdness', I always back out.

If the seller has a low post count and uses the grammar of a first grader without any punctuation, back out. Chances are they are just a kid and what kid can afford to have decent parts? With grammar and spelling like that, they probably don't have a job and are looking to make/steal money any way possible.

Also look through their previous posts and see how they act. I'm not saying people with poor grammar = bad people. I'm just saying a low post count + bad grammar + backing in and out of sales probably means you should wait for another seller to put the part up.

Very true....maybe just as important though you have to remember it is the internet. Flakes are every where. Doing business with an individual is always a risk.....The whole process of buying parts from an individual is a disaster waiting to unfold. Just because you spend time here chatting with someone does not mean they are not going to rip you off if given the chance....a bit cynical? Sure but after having gotten ripped off for close to 25k from a few different "friends" over the past couple of years.......
