It's a real pleasure to deal with people like Redz, OP, and other experienced Forum members/ moderators. Very professional sending and receiving money and are very respectful. I have bought from you with 100% satisfaction and I will sell to you will 100% satisfaction.
Then you get the punk a$$ newbs on this forum so are SOO ENTHUSIASTIC and ENERGETIC and WILL DO ANYTHING to make sure you sell the part ONLY to them, and then when it comes to paying, they back up due to surprise, last minute bills. I got dibs mang...me mang...dibs dibs DIBS!!
Check my For Sale Thread. You'll see me relist something a couple times. Once in a while, you see a genuine reason. But most of the time it's AR15firing.gif chairshot.gif madfawk.gif

Totaly agree. This is why you only have 24hour dibs for people like that unless you know and trust the person that he'll pay you after 2 days when he gets paid etc.
Ussually 24hour dibs is good for the newbs, if they don't pay THEIR loss and next in line has 24hours to pay.

i know what u mean. i dont sell much on the for sale forums do to that.. its more of a hassle keeping up whos backing out, has dibs, 2nd dibs, 3rd, 4th, etc.. i usually look at what people are looking for, or what i know people are looking for, then PM them to see if they want it or are interested.. ill look in the wanted section to see what people want also..
if i do post up something, i will specify that there are no dibs, and to pm me or email me when i will be receiving payment, or w/e and then let everyone know thats its sold.. i was looking thru ur thread, and saw tons of that going on, and when someone whos genuinly interested, and who would pay has 2nd dibs, and they think theyre screwed, they wont bother to look back and see if its still there.. id give people 12 hr dibs max, if any.. a one week dibs is crap.. if your selling something, and one person will give you 100 today or the first dibs person will give you 100 the next week, why wait?

Same here with the cams. I had like 20 people post and even more PM me saying they wanted one. Some were like yea, I'll definately buy one in a few days. So I go to the junkyard and grab 3 cams while I'm there. When it came time for them to pay up, no one had the money. It took me over a month to sell them.

That's why I don't feel insulted when buying from people I don't know well, and they ask for a deposit. It's a good way to weed out the ones who are just calling dibbs to make themselves look cool. heh
I hate people that back out of deals without legitimate, believable reasons.
By the way, Screwdriver, i'm going to be a month or two late with my payment... j/k tongue.gif
