I am old fashioned and trusting. In any organization there will always be a
certain percentage that are A__ H___s and sooner or later someone like me
will get 'bitten' by one for being so trusting. You just cannot let things
like that worry you and drive your decisions. Life is too short.
Hell, if you own a TR, you ain't all bad.

Mark, I don't think that is "common." The way I have done it was to agree
on
a price and then we send the part and the money at the same time.
I have never been "stiffed" by anyone on the list. But for a really high
value item, which I have not purchased, there might be some more negotiating
required. Folks on the list have a reputation from their e-mail content and
there is the ultimate threat of revealing a "scam" to the list.
As always, caveat emptor, but the people here are good folks and the danger
is
minimal, IMO. Cheers.
