I'm sure plenty out there have sold and not made the payment,possibly even most have and not paid,but there's also a few of us around that have never sold the first thing here.I have,however,made two auto trades from the site.Both of which ended with my ass blazin,LOL.Don't misinterpret what I'm getting at.I most certainly do not blame racingjunk for those deals.They were both caused by haste,poor judgement and the other parties being shady.But,I most definately wasnt left feeling like I owed anyone for the pleasure(displeasure?) of those two deals!The guys here in the forum are the best bunch I have ever had the pleasure of talking with,especially when it comes to trying to right a wrong.I do love the site and spend as much or more time in the forum,at least reading the posts,although I dont post a lot lately,than I do in the classifieds.As I said in the beginning,the whole
"he's not honest because he hasn't made an honor payment" thing is the one and only thing that I don't like about the site.Otherwise,it's the best place on the net!
This is just my humble opinion,you guys have definately bent over backwards to try and help me in the past,and I sincerely hope I haven't offended anyone.

RJ is one of the few Free advertising sites around...
and i will guarantee most People on the classifieds are taking full advantage of this with No Honor payments OR Membership dues....for those who pay your membership..AWESOME JOB !..its people like US the reason why we have a FREE SITE.
Racingjunk doesn't require an HONOR payment.....But the Word HONOR PAYMENT speaks for itself....its an HONOR THING ..
If you
purchased, Sold, or traded thru this site and your
deal was because the Site Hooked you Up...thennnnnnnnnn...i say No More...Racingjunk doesn't say you have to pay anything....but they do ask you to call Upon your Honor or in other words do what you feel is Right and ACT UPON IT.....the call is Up to you.....the 1% is only suggestion.
Just because a person doesn't make an honor payment doesn't mean they are Dis-honest...
but i can say without a doubt if someone goes over and beyond and makes an Honor payment its a good indicator for someone who doesn't know them that they are a Honest person to deal with.
Besides OZZ came in here looking for Help...he was gven some Good advise on things to look for..its up to him how he goes about it.

Why Make an Honor Payment?
The Trust Factor.
Honor payments build trust all around.
•We don't ask for an honor payment until you've made your sale and actually received payment from your purchaser.
•Once you've made an honor payment, you can rate the person you sold to and they can rate you. Making an honor payment lets you build your seller rating, which builds up your reputation with buyers. More about our RATING SYSTEM.
