about a bad buyer Bigboy68

When I sell something, the part is not marked as sold until I see the money, and that would be the full amount. If someone wanted to buy something I had for sale, and they want to pay via a mail MO, that would be fine but the MO would need to go on the mail the next day at the latest. Part of the agreement is if I did not receive the MO by the agreed date, the part would be sold, if a second buyer stepped into the picture. That is fair to everyone.
For sellers that agree to take partial payments,, you are just enabling folks that are borderline able to make ends meet and do their hobby, make more poor decisions. Just say no.
Think about it. Are there any buyers that would be happy if the item they bought was delivered a piece at a time at a schedule convenient to the seller? No buyer would stand for that. So just don’t do that as a seller and the problem goes away.

I agree with the first sentence and nothing else! Lol
I agree that if I'm working a deal either buying or selling it doesnt get marked as sold until money is in hand. As far as the mo being sent the next day that's preposterous. People have lives and jobs I work 12 hour days 6 days a week. If I make a deal tonight and the seller wants a money order I cant get to the post office to get it until my next day off! That maybe 4 or 5 days. If you want payment right away then you need to be more flexible and accept PayPal or some other electronic payment method there is dozens of reliable ones now. As for the payments. I am not a rich person and some weeks barely make ends meet. And that is absolutely insulting to say that making payments is enabling us to make bad decisions! I guess you have never financed a vehicle? Or got a mortgage or loan? I think as long as the buyer and seller agrees and the seller keeps the parts till its paid in full its not a issue. Like I said before I try to believe in the best in people. I think most people are genuinely good. Although there are some just rotten to the core.
