people may leave the Site to go other places but No-one will find anything out here that compares to what RJ has to offer it members and Non-members from the full feature standpoint
Now there ain't but one way to do business..I don't care how honest you think the person is or how dishonest you think they are..there is a standard protocol for buying and selling over the internet..I do not see the need in going thru the steps most of you guys that has been a round a few years know this Protocol..I will assure you any Scammer that has gotten away with a scam had the Victim way out of protocol..Had to in order to pull off the scam...its hard to pull off a scam when someone is on their game..
if anyone would like to discuss protocol for buying and selling over the net be my Guest...I know Lively and a few others can qoute it like the back of their hand...Now I have to say I have never seen a member despise a Scammer as much as Lively does....hey where has he been latley ?
I think the Vette vs Mustang thread a few days ago in the scammer section was a good example of how to conduct business..its wasn't picture perfect but it had some Good parts to it that some potential NEWBY Internet customers could learn from,
just my 2 cents
1) No one was insulting the site just to clear that up, cause your response seemed to be geared towards that kind of insinuation. I do feel that RJ could get a little bit more involved in some aspect when someone is scammed, such as freezing the remainder of the persons adds and sales until the matter is resolved.
I just read the thread where the guy bought a SB 400 motor and received an LS1 motor that was not only not the motor pictured, but was seized. And the seller still has 3 other active adds on RJ . In this situation the seller should have his adds yanked until he surfaces and explains himself.
2) I would love to hear the proper protocol for doing business over the internet and i think that in itself should be its own thread.
