Have you ever been stuck?


I was just wondering how many of you have come across counterfeit money orders or certified checks when doing business via COD or anyway with audiogon members?

this has nothing to do with audiogon, in particular, but rather with selling ANYTHING on the net, in general. if you are asked to ship something overnight COD, DON'T, unless you REALLY know your buyer is trustworthy. as a seller on ebay and audiogon, i require receipt and clearing of "good funds" before shipping, unless i've previously dealt with the buyer, or he/she can send a notarized certificate of having recently attended tire camp. (the last clause only is prompted by tim's typically enigmatic post. what the hell is tire camp?) -cfb
Kelly- You have never seen American Pie(the original or the second-movie), it may seem a little juvenile(the movie). But if you have viewed either of those movies not only would my statement make sense but it would be funny! I am of the age where things like that muze me, but you already know that ;)
Tim, I've seen both movies the second one just the other night. That's exactly what popped into my head. Very funny :~) say if you guys want to see a totally twisted musical check out Hedwig.

As for the thread at hand. I personally have never been burned but know people that have. There most definitely are people out there paying with fake money orders. Try to do your homework and feel comfortable before the deal.

Audiogon does a great job of weeding these people out with the help of the locals. If you ever see anything suspicious please report it at once.
