Jim,

If I am the one you are talking about, something about work getting in the way has a lot to do with it. Being away from home while out flying makes it a bit difficult to keep up with things.

If you take PP can send you the funds now, otherwise if you want a check (remember you saying no hurry) will get to it when I return home!

People who live and work at home do not realize what its like living out of a hotel on the road, then getting home for a day or two and returning to the grind again, gone for another two weeks...

Why would you ship w/o payment?

If it is Joe, he's good for it.....He travels a lot.....

[Noah930]

If it's a guy like JoeA, I wouldn't be as concerned. Because he's good for it. And because he's a friendly enough guy that many of us have his phone number or otherwise know how to get in touch with him easily.

I had a small item for sale about a year or so ago. I don't do Paypal & if I sell something I just ask for a money order or cashier's check & send the item. A guy on here who doesn't post - that I've seen - asked to buy it. I told him I'd send it when I received payment. Never received payment & emailed him several times. He always claimed to have sent payment & then that his wife had sent it. I guess he was waiting for me to be trusting & send it so he could claim to have sent payment & be on his merry way. Of course if I put anything up for sale again, I'll keep an eye out for his name.

You can from the advanced section. You're really at the mercy of the other party. Hoping they will either send payment or product.
The guy I was dealing with lived in Newfoundland.

Maybe there should be some interest added on so the late payer doesn't feel so 'guilty'.

Win-win.

[Jim Bremner]

Person has made a contact and I belive it's been resolved

[onewhippedpuppy]

Somebody like Joe is where I would make an exception. The long time forum regulars deserve some extra slack in my opinion, it's the newcomers with only a few posts that are worthy of a little caution.

Told the person that I would take 1911 magazines, 45acp ammo 12 ga slugs or ammo for M1 Garands in lew of cash. Let's see!

Ammo will ship to my warehouse where it's out of the Orange County ban

I'm going to miss having my warehouse after I close it down next month! Anyone need any Boltless shelving or a 1940's forklift?

I'd love to have an old forklift, but I think logistics will kill that deal .

$500 forklift $1500 frieght!

[rusnak]

what, wait a second.....1940s forklift? Is it based on a truck or a tractor?

Hell, I'll take it if so. I would even pay in advance and pay you for storing it till I can come get it.

[Jim Bremner]

Recent seals in the upright and the brakes now work!

Power steering? auto trans? HELL no!

will take a M1 Garand or M1 carbine in trade ( yes I know I'll need to add to that)

[rusnak]

aww man...it's a warehouse only forklift due to the tires. I can't use it but I like it. It looks like a Clark. It has the same instrument cluster that mine has.

you mean that yours has a busted hour gauge, a sunbaked gauge that you don't know what it does and a starter button that the rubber has craked off of too?

[rusnak]

Ha! No, it has a working light switch that I fixed so I can run new lights, and a custom made (ahem) horn button that I am really happy with. I also changed the ignition switch. Gotta love forklifts...

[Jim Bremner]

Lights? Horn? WTH!

[rusnak]

hahahaha!!! I had to, what can I say? I bought it for the pumpkin patch and Christmas tree lot that I do every year. Wish I took a pic of it.

Can send payment thru paypal via your smart-phone from the road. Do it all the time. Just sayin'.
