Ive bought and sold quite a few items, all went well except for this one guy I forgot his name but he was a parts peddler out of Texas, sent me some crap brake parts that in his mind were excellent condition, but were dented/gouged and he never drained the dot 3 out. Ask my mailman about that one. He was a total jerk about the whole thing never got anything back.
But that was only 1 person, Ive probably made a couple dozen transactions flawlessly.

My thinking is the bigger issue here is with the shipping and especially the packing. I am right in the middle of an issue where the items were damaged in shipment. Right now they are on there way back to the place or origin to be inspected by the folks in brown. I will post the out come of this. Just from what I have learned so far it will impact the way I ship.

I had a door for my Trans Am shipped to me from Cali. Despite the shipper making a very nice, solid, custom crate for it out of 2"X4"s UPS still dropped it out of the back of a semi, shattering the crate and ruining the door. You guessed it UPS said it was improperly packaged and denied the claim.
It was the 4th door that the seller had shipped over a few years. Ups ruined them all, denied the claims on all of them.
UPS had even inspected his packaging before shipping and said it was great and well done. After they ruined the door they changed their story.
Lucky for me I was dealing with a great, stand up guy who was understanding and worked things out with me.

Bought lots of stuff thru the classified and in the most part everyone is honest and had one problem with a seller shipping out and he made up for that with a price change. So nothing but positve experiences

I've sold three items on here. Its best to list all the details. I rather a guy know about why Im selling it and give photos. I never buy anything with out pics and details to why it being sold. I would research a seller on the forum an watch his or her post before buying.
I had one item not get delivered. The tracking number said delivered. I fought with ups, they cut me a check and I sent him his money back.
