A couple more thoughts on this subject. I've done a few deals through 
the lists, both TechAssist, and NESDA. I think we're all pretty much 
friends here, so I don't usually worry about sending a part or a manual 
to someone I've never spoken to. I figure that if I get burned, what 
have I lost? a used part, and some shipping? BTW, I have never failed to 
be re-imbursed for a deal, even though I usually ship first, and tell 
them to pay later.

On the other hand, if I was buying/selling a part to/from someone, and 
they expressed misgivings about the deal, such as I'm reading here, I 
think I'd just say thanks, but no thanks.
