> …was afraid this might happen. Well, caution should be had for both sides of any transaction, buyer and seller. Unfortunately, a tiny minority cause problems for the legitimate deals that go on. I think that I have made about a dozen or so deals through CIS and FIDO For Sale areas. I have never been burned and I don't believe anyone has considered themselves to be burned by my. Testing equipment sales as immediately as possible is good advice to the buyer, and cash/M.O. payment is advice for the seller. The biggest worry I ever has was on a SIMM I bought a few months ago that I knew I couldn't test for a while. The first indication that my great deal really WAS a great deal was the way the guy packaged, or should I say 'over-packaged', the SIMM 72. I think it could have been run over by a bus and not fear a hint of damage. I have had great experiences with my mail dealings, but a note of caution should be given for both parties.
