I couldn't resist commenting on Jay's post because the menthod in which =

transactions takes place on this list tends to bother me.  Most individua=
ls =

require that you mail them payment for parts before the will mail the par=
ts to =

you.  IMO, this indicates a lack of trust on their part and simultaneousl=
y =

they are requiring that you trust them.  You can only hope that you will =

indeed receive the part(s) and that the condition was fairly represented.=
  I =

members and am not attempting to attack anyone.  However, I think a fair =

approach to take is this: =

	1) buyer and seller discuss the parts of interest and settles on a price=

	2) buyer represents parts being sold honestly
	3) buyer agree to ship parts by a specified date and seller agrees to se=
nd =

check/MO =

	   by a specified date
	4) buyer communicates receipt of parts and should be satisfied if their =

condition was
	   honestly conveyed and seller communicates receipt of payment.

This approach should indicate a sense of trust between both parties.
