I bought some carbs from Isaac Crow in Georgia a couple of months back. The
arrangements that we made were: I sent money order to him, when he received
it he sent the goods, I received the goods, everyone was happy. Thanks
Isaac. I think that most people on this list are here because they have
interest in LBCs, not to rip people off.
Then again, for $500 I might be a little more concerned. It might be worth
the cost/hassle of COD.
