I really don't buy used myself but sell alot at times and have sent parts when I didn't go to work because I had a 102 fever!
I might be a jackass on here but, I couldn't live with myself scamming someone, if I advertise it for sale and you buy it, you will get it or be reimbursed because I buy insurance to cover the cost.
I do have a conscience about that anyways!
No, Im saying putting 100% trust in a complete stranger via an internet transaction with absolutely zero safeguards like Ebay and Paypal provide is very very risky and one should take more precautions to protect themselves. Ebay is not an internet forum FYI it is an auction site and as long as all transactions are done THROUGH THE SITE and VIA PAYPAL the buyer is 100% protected from fraud. Racing Junk is an internet forum with online classifieds and provides ZERO, I repeat ZERO coverage against being scammed. In fact they almost have a "welcome scammer" policy by the protection they provide for the scammers by being afraid to remove their ads and ban them..Racing Junk has become exactly what the name implies RACING-----JUNK...
Simply sending someone a money order or wire transfer for several hundred dollars without really doing your research is in the least, reckless.
I myself have shipped items I sold mere minutes before boarding a plane to go bury my father cause I figured my problems should not be a buyers problems, so its all in the integrity of the seller.
