I have to admit to doing this a couple times myself.  Of course, I was under the misconception both times that I'd have the money, and something would happen.  The first time with drillwizard was my fault, it was during the summer and I called a bunch of times and never got ahold of him (my work schedule conflicted, and there was also the time zone differences) and was kind of glad, cause I ended up having to fix a tire with the money I would have spent on the ball.  The last time was last week with alien, I thought I was going to have the money, and it fell through again.  So the moral of the story is make sure your stuff's together before you make a deal on here.  I have had some great transactions on here, however, most notably with Nicanor, pdj300 and confucius (although I know I'm leaving another one or two out).

The only difference between youth and adult leagues are that the big boys are allowed to whine.  They're more entertaining anyway.

Jeffrevs,

I totally agree. I have had kids (and a couple of adults) from this site email me about stuff I had for sale, seem very interested and then tell me they don't have the money afterall, a total waste of my time. I had one user ask me to wait 3 weeks until he got his allowance to pay for a bag I had for sale.

pnj1967,

good point and thats happened to me as well. I did my self back oput of one deal along time ago because I just had a gut feeling the guy was not on the up and up. Sometimes you have to message back and forth a few times to see if they are legit or not. Most of the time I am right about the person.
