Re: EXTENDING CREDIT: an Unscrupulous Buyer - Be Forewarned:

It is my opinion that the buyer must be the trusting individual. Most 
businesses will want payment before shipment. I see nothing different 
here. Terry is correct that dollar amount does make a difference. 
Small low cost items are one thing. But when the item or dollar 
amount (different for everyone) is significant, then purchasing 
protocol should be procedure.

Also, when I bought Marks SISG boards, I sent a cashiers check and 
insured the shipment (double the check amount [grin]) just incase the 
envelope was lost. Always insure money sent through a carrier (important).

Take care,
Bart
