Never buy an item from an individual by check mailed to them before you get the item. Always insist on COD via certified check or money order - it protects both parties ewspecially the buyer as I know some people are burned when the money is not waiting when the item arrives. It is part of what we risk in the Audiogon format. Have you heard from this individual or company?
How long is too long to ship?
I bought a item by check. The check cleared 3Jan 02 today is the 15th. Sent email the 10th no reply. Sent nasty email today and responce was not shipped yet will check with bank. When you tell me it will clear on the 3rd and it clears on the 3rd i expect it to be shipped within 3 days. I am not sure but am i expecting too much?
