Re: Vortec Holley Stealthram
Paypal claims to put a hold on the funds until the dispute is resolved. But seeing the money is available immediatly, the account could easily be drained before you receive the item.
The dispute, which could drag on forever, is no guarantee either. Seller could say, didn't look like that when I shipped it. etc

??? How does that make an ounce of sense? The money is always sent first. Then the buyer trusts the seller will send the item. Example; I say I will send payment for such and such item, but fail to send it for what ever reason. What did the seller loose? Maybe a different potential buyer at the most. Example 2; I send a seller a payment for such and such item, seller receives the $ and doesn't send the item for whatever reason, now who lost what? Now what did we learn from this?

Re: Vortec Holley Stealthram
Understand the fuss about a secure transaction but the guy said he only takes money order. If you don't want to pay that way then move on. Reminds me of when a guy sells his car and everyone jumps in the thread to tell him it's not worth his asking price. Every moderator will explain if you don't want to buy it then don't post about how it's too much. I admit PayPal is best and all i do but some people still don't do it. I paid $1750 through a money order because the PayPal fees, he was covering shipping and offering a good deal. Yes I know could have sent as gift. I talked to the guy and felt like he was the real deal. Bottom line this was a great deal and the seller said no Paypal so no need to convince him to get it. Understand there are scams all the time but if you do research and talk with the individual you can weed the losers out from the good guys.

Re: Vortec Holley Stealthram
Are you familiar with Ted Bundy? He was a very charming and convincing person to talk to according to all who knew him. Also a serial killer using those qualities to lure unsuspecting women to their inevitable demise. A little extreme of a comparison, but just a point. You can not trust someone based on a few PMs or phone conversations. Scammers can also be very convincing. A trusting person is usually taken advantage of.

The price was more than fair as far as I could tell.
The pic wasn't bad, (once we the potential buyers dug it up and reposted it so it could be seen).
I would bet there will be no buyer posting that he received the intake, there won't be any buyer/seller feedback.

No you did not post a pic in this thread. That is an outright lie.
Tuned Performance posted the thumbnail pic from your other thread
Scorpner and I reposted it larger so everybody could see it.
?? Before your evasiveness or after? Show us these negative posts.
Who made reasons they didn't want it? I've only seen reasons people DID want to buy it, (securely)

Re: Vortec Holley Stealthram
Bottom line is there were a lot of guys interested in buyin this, but the seller would provide no communication/information/assurance that he was legit. (and still hasn't)
The price was more than fair as far as I could tell.

Re: Vortec Holley Stealthram
Glad it worked out for the two of you. Can we put this thread to rest now? One last thing on seller security and money orders. There has been a rash of counterfeit money orders. Scenario:Seller does all he can is his power to be safe. Has the money order sent first. Receives it, sends the part. He cashes it at his bank, goes through all is good. Week or so later the bank discovers the counterfeit. Who is out the money? The person cashing the money order is charged against his account. What have we learned from all of this? PAYPAL is still the safest method of transactions for BOTH parties. I won't buy without it online and it is paid by a credit card that has it's own fraud protection. Double covered.
