    Ok so if there is no sale system, how about a sticky in the for sale area with a "Buyer Beware". Make it mod controlled only, where people are listed that have done bad sales in the past.

    Of course if they are just going to be banned for 1 dodgy sale, disregard what I just said

    But thats open to heresay and not entirely factual. Whats to say that you send me something and i get it and then say i just didnt recieve it. Would it be fair to put you on the list? As good an idea as it is i dont believe it to be a solution. At the end of the day if you want security when buying items then only buy items you can old and only from a fixed location like a shop.

    I must admit I went through *hell* with the toymods member I bought the CA18DET off early last year... took me almost 6 months to get it from him, then it turned up without 80% of the things he mentioned in the posting (turbo timer, BOV etc) and he stopped taking my calls...

    And it was a fair bit more than 15 bucks we're talking. Anyhow, turns out he was already in trouble from the cops so I decided not to add to it.

    i once sent a member some parts, and told them the parts are free, just pay for postage. i never got paid the postage and when i asked for it to be DD, the reply was sorry i don't trust DD. postage was around $20 as they were quite heavy parts. not doing that again.

    So DD can't be trusted but they should be

    So you did them a favour and got screwed over, nice.

    Had they not heard of a money order and mail?

    to the OP, that sucks, its not about the money I agree!

    and to be clear, is it a toymods club member or a toymods forum member? im not trying to weed out information, just i know the board members is a tigher group than the forum members.

    Any time i sell soemthing, its payment first, then i'll send after i see the money in my account. selling stuff is a pain in the ass as it is, no way would i do it and risk not getting paid! everything is sent registered post too, its only a couple more bucks and it means i dont have to trust the person at the other end (or austpost)

    Same goes for buying, but i will only buy from people who have been on the forum for a very long time (and are active) or go pick the item up and pay then. DD is still fine

    This comes back to something I have seen for a long time on the board but previously wasn't a problem. Most people couldn't be bothered with getting bits for free. I've seen heaps of stuff available for free just pay shipping etc and nobody wanted it, but the same stuff sells for actual money at the same time. It seems people don't value it and couldn't be bothered if something doesn't cost a fair bit of money.

    I know it's not an excuse and not intended to be, it's simply an observation about this community that I have made over a period of time. If something is free then it has to be completely free and prefferably delivered to the door or it's too much effort

    On the topic of the people who have had issues please email the details to the board, I'd be happy to give people a call and ask them if they can sort out their issues.

    Also just to clarify from teh question above as to whether it was a forum member or an actual member of Toymods and reference to the board. The Toymods board is a subset of the club members who are the ones that run the club. If it is a board member, which I'd be shocked to hear, definately let us know so they can get a swift kick to the tackle.

    How do you tell if it is a club member or a forum member? I'm guessing that this person is only a forum member however.

    I have email all the details to the board. I have had nothing but good to say about toymods until now which is why I raised it so these things can be weeded out and keep the community what it should be.

    i think there is a different avatar heading or something, in any case the board have a list, not that it really matters, it will just be more likely to get solved.

    Keep it private until you have no other alternative, but if you have given them every opportunity then name and shame for sure, they can put forward their side of the story too.

    Yep, not being able to trust ppl sucks. That being said I havent had any bad experiences here yet and there are people that I will send things to and who will send things to me before receiving payment because the trust is there.

    I bet none of this is caused by a MA61 owner

    I've had "issues" before.

    I've also lost a sale or two before because of being excrucatingly busy and unable to get to a post office.

    And when I trade, either buying or selling, it's COD only for me.

    I've got issues with a supraforums member, been waiting 6 weeks for some foglights, starting to get impatient.
