<x-charset iso-8859-1>Well yeah,

COD is expensive and most of these people are cheap bastards or students on
a budget.

Typically it's a send the money and then send the part type of transaction.
But Dirk is "man" enough to give his VW bretheren the benefit of the doubt
and ship first.

In my case, it was a trade, I send "Adam" the part and he was supposed to
send me a set of 16V headers....he couldn't take the headers off car until
he got the manifold because it's a dailey driver.....yada yada yada Brian
Gets bent over.......

I think we all agree that there is a trust in this group and maybe we err by
trusting fellow Scirocco owners who are outside the group.
