Then you will probably end up paying for a box of random broken parts or rocks.

Yea that is true I suppose, I just got lucky a few times Ive done it I guess :)

People like that piss me off bad. There used to be a goodguybadguy.org site, but I don't think it works anymore. There is a site called Vendors-Reviewed.com that you can use now though instead. Hope everything works out for you.

Thats why it pays sometimes to buy part locally or from reputable shops. Cheaper isn't always better and sometimes 'good deals' are good deals for a reason. There is always someone out there that is trying to think of ways to fuck over the average consumer. Chalk it up as a lesson learned, there is not much you can do about it. If you have an address, send him a bomb in the mail.

I always make sure to get a ton of information about someone before I do a transaction with them. 2 phone #'s, address, etc.

I am the same way. I will first ask if they can send C.O.D. It only costs us about an extra $10. It takes them a little longer to get their money. Anything over $75 or $100 i will generally want to do the business outside of email with phone calls. For anything over that same amount I will generally ask if they can fax me a copy of their drivers license or utility bill of some sort. Also look at the domain name of thier email. If it's like a hotmail or yahoo account, it will be harder to track them, but if it's like jdoe@ibm.com, It would be easier to track them down. If they won't give you the information i listed above, do your business elsewhere. It's that simple.

Another you can do is ask them if they have an ebay account. Send a message to that account and see if they reply back to it. If they do, it is their account. Then look to see what kind of feedback they have.

For high dollar transactions, i'd highly recommend all of the above.

He would have to go through puberty first to produce that substance though.

If you actually read the quote you would see that I was talking about another member that is gay.
