satwater, I agree, there has been a run of bad deals on here lately.  Many of the problems come back to one thing: lack of communication.  If both parties involved in a deal know what is going on at all times, then there would not be a need to ask other members of this site if they had heard from person x, y, or z.  Also, always be truthful with the person with whom you are dealing with.  If something has come up that delays your end of the deal, tell them the truth, most of us on here understand that life doesn't always run smoothly.  If all else fails, try and stay with reputable traders that you know and trust.  That's all I have for advice, hopefully the run of bad deals comes to an end soon, and everyone involved in those deals can get things straightened out.

Seems like once or twice a year we go through this. Usually it's just one guy and several deals with that one person. I can't remember so many different people trying to ruin things as what we have had in the past 2-3 weeks.

You guys are right, key is communication.

Guys,

  It ALL comes down to personal integrity.  Their is no need to worry about a deal with me, because I will worry about it more than you.  I will worry if I gave you enough info.  I will worry that you will get your stuff in a timely manner.  I am a perfectionist and can expect no less than that from myself.

  I don't usually toot my own horn, but I have followed through and made satisfactory deals with every person I have ever dealt with here, and I will continue to do so, from my side anyway.

  Please guys, if you want to deal/trade here, be as good as your word.  Integrity is all you were born with, and all that you will take with you.

I do my best, as well. I do always remember one thing my Dad told me....boy, you may have 'things' in your life, but the only thing that's worth anything, is your word.

Holds pretty true for me to this day. Shoot, I've made money and spent most of it but to the day I die, your word is the only thing that will follow you.
