Message	I communicated with them by email and paid them upfront for some small parts...and came out winner in every single case so far. Some of these guys who sold me parts couldn't have had more than 3000 hits or so, complete strangers to us. Maybe I've just been lucky, or maybe I have some sort of instinct for these things...who knows? I find that usually, when someone communicates well and writes in a way that shows that he's mature, that goes a long way in hinting that he *may* not be out to get you. I also search and read some of the past messages these people have posted, that's another great hint on the type of people they are. My record stands at over 30 successful transactions. Zero failures. George _________________________________________________________________________________ ... BernardBilski: yeah, but how long did it take to do yours?
