- How do folks out there handle selling parts over the net? I've recently listed my Spitfire parts on the VTR website and the response has been pretty good. ...but once a person has expressed interest,

- Actually, Chris, the best way, in my experience, is to do business C.O.D. No trust is required. You ship, they receive and pay, then you get paid. If they don't accept, you'll get the package returne

- I bought parts from a fellow lister recently. He sent them UPS C.O.D. It seemed to work fine for both of us, although it may be somewhat of a hassle for the sender. Just my .02 Mike 79 Spit

- Hm, I guess it is a mater of trust. I have been selling some parts over the net and haven't had any problem yet. I tell the buyer to send a check, when it clears, I send the parts. I like the thought

- My 2 cents: Yes, the person buying it should pay shipping. (If he came to pick it up, would you pay for his gasoline? And in shipping an item, you still have to hassle with packing and shipping the i

- I suppose c.o.d. is the safest way to keep anyone's rearend from hanging out, but I usually leave mine wide open. I try to make sure that the buyer gets as full a description of the part in question

- Tom does bring up a very good point. If it is a name that I recognize from the list, I probably wouldn't hesitate at all. The differential I sold a few weeks ago went to a lister that I did reorgani

- For inexpensive things, I take the risk and rely upon the goodwill of the person I deal with. A part goes one way and a good check hopefully is coming the other. So far I have not had a deal go bad.
