Agreed on Georges service - its hard to imagine an easier and more
pleasant way to do business
As to list "trading" in general, i have bought and sold many many items
with other listers - i was always happy with the deals i struck, always
got what i bought and always got paid for what i sold (with one
exception, an oil cooler i never got paid for by somebody who i think has
since departed our ranks - if not feel free to blush now!)
Sometimes people have told me they didnt like what i sent or it didnt fit
etc - they have always sent them back, and have always got their money
I think its a great facility to be able to trade in this way and adds a
dimension to the shared "spirit" of what we do. It wasnt entirely clear
whether the original poster had confronted their counterparty with the
apparent displeasure - nobody is likely to get too offended by a mistake
or misjudgement unless they have a high a**hole gene quotient! - Tell'em
the deal sucks! - if they arent responsive then you know what you have!!
