Buyer only wants to do C.O.D... fishy?

Viperoni · Post by **Viperoni** » Sat Dec 17, 2005 8:04 pm

Apparently he doesn't want to send a MO, and he only has 3 heatwares and a bit under 50 posts on the forum (not this one). Should I be worried about anything?
I've never done COD.... how do I end up getting paid by one?

Thanks guys

Viperoni you have 90 heatware evals and have been around for years. You know the drill: n00bs are supposed to ship or pay first.

Well his 2 other heatwares are decent (they have more then 15...)

I'm kinda in a pinch to sell the card, but the price is pretty good and I haven't had any other takers....

That says what you need to know right there.

As sean and greg said, and trollhunters.com (maybe read it over real quick

), noobs send first. Or no deal. Otherwise you are taking a chance of getting ripped.

With your 90+ evals and he can't send first? the heck with him. in my book anyway.

With C.O.D. the post office pays you later, plus you cave extra charges. Gomeh says, have him send a money order first, or sayanora. It ain't worth the possible hassle. You are proven, he is not.

We all understand needing the moolah, but...please use common sense. If he needs any more assurance then have him email the admin of this site and trollhunters to vouche for you. If that still isn't enough. Flock em.

You guys are right, sorry if it sounded like I was going to send it to him, considered it, but I wouldn't actually do it. I'd rather take less cash then risk losing a lot more.....

Watched a guy at Casino Niagara lose $1000 (CAD

) in less then 10 minutes at a roulette wheel. That guy woulda felt a lot better if he woulda given me one of those benjamins

I've also told the buyer I can't do COD and he claims he's got another seller on the forum to send him an x800 XL.... saw the thread too and I wouldn't be surprised if it went through, but it's definetely fishy to me. Oh well.

I'm sellin a x800 Pro 256mb PCI-E, bottom of this link: http://ca.geocities.com/viperoni/stufffs/
