Hi Guys
I think it was great when you could go see something for sale, check it out, have some banter (haggle) on the price then shake hands on the deal. I would always insist on leaving a reasonable deposite which the seller. I would ask the seller to write out a recept for the payment received including a stipulation when the rest should be paid by and when the item should be collected. This approach worked well for many years in Scotland working very much on trust (a gentlemans agreement with a small paper token as comfort for the buyer). The world has now become a much smaller place and people now buy using various forums and means of communication to make contact including this very one as well as Ebay etc. This can stretch that link of trust. Most people have had good and bad experiences with buying and selling but we just need to have some faith in the human race because I know there are still a lot of good and genuine people out there. I meet lots of them when I visit either Canada or the USA each year on vacation and have made some good deals on tractors when meeting face to face. There are certain countries however that wouldnt be happy dealing with. Now the crunch - how is it that some of you guys wont do a deal with someone when they see a UK E-mail address even if we are willing to communicate and set up realiable payment and trucking?
