How do I Protect myself sending an MO?

[Kevmaster]

a couple of ways:

1) COD is the easiest way to do it. have him ship it to you COD and the UPS man will come and pick up a check for the amount he specifies. if you dont have the check, he will make two return visits. DO NOT give cash, they will not accept them, and dont assume a personal check will clear, because he has to OK that.


2) Third Party trader. you send a MO to a guy, he sends the gun to the same guy, and he sends them to each of you. Animal Paintball and Palmers both do it and have GREAT reps for doing it. this will cost $30-40 extra to do

3) you ship the MO to him Registered and with Sig Confirm. therefore you can prove that he got it. he is also obligated to ship your package with Delivery Confirm and give you the number as soon as he ships it. therefore, if you dont get a DC #, you go to the PO and raise hell

if you get screwed and it's a kid you're dealing with use whitepages.com and find his phone number, talk to his dad and get him in a lot of trouble...

Thx All

Ok Guys, I really am appreciating your help. I feel alot more reassured then I did this morning. The most I ever spent on a classifieds item was a little over $1K,, for a intervooler and turbo upgrade for my car. I used Paypal and had complete peace of mind. The guy telling me he only wanted MO or Cashiers check scared me a bit, but I think I will go with the Postal MO. Im guessing you go to the PO for it.

I called the guy. I have his Name, Work Address, Work Phine number, and email. He wants me to make the MO to the team capatin, which I now have possesion of his Home phone, address, work phone, and cell phone. I have talked with both individuals, and they seem the honest type (in a way arent those the type you should watch out for?).

I think Im gonna go for it. Thx all. If I get screwed *knock on wood* Im gonna be steamed and this thread will n4ever end.
