Hey Randy
I feel for you but a lot of what you're going through is the cost of doing business, and experience, like some of these others have said, nothing against here, ebay seems to work better. A few years back I had a running ad in the local (Phila) trading times. Wasted a lot of time with kids, example I'd ask $30.00 for a fender and they'd offer $10.00. Let's make a deal is for TV! Actually had a guy buy a rust free bed side and then bring it back! Had a few guys who'd call and say "I'll buy everything, what have you got?"That was when I discovered Carlisle and dragged a load of stuff to the truck nationals for a few years until Little League schedule conflicted with it.

It all boils down to "Money talks and B.S. walks" There are a lot of dreamers out there and your time is valuable, nothing wrong with asking questions but if you're just "asking" (buyers), state as such!
I finally started selling some of my own stuff on ebay, and so far, so good. Sold a 3:54 coil spring rear to a guy from Cleveland who drove 8 hours to pick it up,a TH400 to a guy in Kentucky who paid to have it shipped.
I got a great bit of help from this board on one part I had that when I'd bought it I thought they were NOS GMC bezels, posted a pic here asking what they were, they were NOS 68 Impala bezels, sold on ebay for 5 times what I paid for them, and I only wanted my $50.00 back!
I myself had a great transaction with you Randy and don't know where you find the time for this and I hope the vents by us others puts it all in perspective.
Good Luck!
Gerry
