I have a feeling that many guys on this board are on a budget. which is fine. However, it seems that guys get excited when new posts come up in the classifieds and want to "jump" on the parts offered and be first. then they don't have the $$$ to buy. It is hard to swalow your pride and say "I can't afford this". I don't think that any seller would have a problem with them saying this.

this has only happened to me once. the buyer siad that the MO is in the mail. I never got it or any response from the buyer. It' ok with me though, I won't box things up until I get paid. I would rather him say, "I'll send you 50 bucks for now if you can hold it for a couple of weeks until pay day"

Maybe there should be some kind of rule where a buyer is required to paypal a small deposit to the seller upon agreement of price. Just as there is a rule about all parts requiring a price. Or say, the first one with a deposit gets the part. The part isn't sold until it has money on it. etc. etc.

I have also had many good transactions here. so it's not all bad.
