There's also the flip side to this. I've sat will a seller whom I bought something from and she agreed to bring the stuff she was selling into town for a couple of people (live items) to meet with them and save them the drive. Ended up being no shows, not even a call. You really are taking a small chance on private sales here, its not quite e-bay. I've also seen people pay for something and not receive what they paid for, so I guess you can be thankful for that. In all the years on this board I must say that I've never been burnt by anybody and I've never let anyone down as I do care about my reputation.

How about paying for something, being promised that she will catch the fish and deliver it to you the next day, but never does and eventually disconnects her phone number so you can't even call her anymore..

Sorry to hear. I don't want to judge whoever the original poster pointing at but it is two way streets especially when selling live stock. As seller, you hold and hold and buyer never show up. As buyer, seller agree to hold and never got back because they already sell to some one else. It is canreef, some is bad and some is very good :-)

Actually it is the same for dry stock. WTH

One of the funniest is when you tell someone "yes it is still for sale but I'm not selling it to you". I did that to someone and my PM box got filled with insane messages in 2 days. Glad I never gave them my phone number. One of the reasons that person eventually got all 3 of themselves banned from this site.
