.......then email a mod to do a source check before you send your hard earned cash. I know that you've seen this post before, but I just don't like seeing people get scammed. I've never been scammed and you won't be either as long as you play it smart! ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

"If you don't want to get scammed..." Don't do mailorder, it's that simple... BUT if you do plan on doing mailorder, finding a source with a monitor's approval/endorsement is a must! [This message has been edited by Damian Borleone (edited December 29, 2000).] ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Personally, I like to keep my AS use total private. I don't reveal it to ANYONE....so in order to keep annonymity, I use mail order....like cuban said, there are some very reliable mail order sources out there. Nobody should be getting scammed.

The name of the thread is "if you don't want to get scammed..." so obviously if you don't want to get scammed, don't do mailorder. I know and everybody else knows that mailorder with a legit domestic source is much more convenient than having to go to another country to buy your gear, but this thread is about avoiding being scammed and not which is more convenient. Besides avoiding mailorder altogether, the next easiest way to avoid being scammed is to find a legit domestic source who will front to you. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Ok damian, so when these guys email a mod who's to say that the mod won't refer them to a source who fronts? or to a source who is more reliable than the mail man? You seem to be one of those guys who just likes to argue to hear yourself talk, I mean write! ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

DB, are your saying that doing business face to face is the best way not to get scammed? Well, I not sure price matters to you, but the last time I looked around town, shit was at least twice the price. And I'll bet you have a high risk of getting fake gear to boot. But hey, what ever floats your boat. You do what you want to do - that's the beauty of it all. Pumpup, just look at someone's profile, the e-mail addies are there if they wish to be e-mailed. ------------------ Lobo ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I AGREE WITH BOTH DAMIAN AND THE MODS. I GET MY SHIT FROM A DOMESTIC DEALER WHO ALSO HAPPENS TO BE A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE. IF SOMEBODY HAD GEAR OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND I NEW THEY WERE RELIABLE AND CHEAPER THEN WHAT I PAY THEN I WOULD HAVE TO GO WITH THEM. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

quote: Damn, didn't know I was going to get flamed for expressing my opinion. About this liking to hear myself talk or argue or whatever, that's not the case either- if it were I'd be one of these guys who registers on January and has 1000 posts by February... By the sound of your post The Cuban, I'd almost think you have a personal problem with me? Interesting, since I don't think we've ever spoken before. Look, I have nothing against mailorder, domestic or foreign- and maybe my original post was a little smart-assed, but chill with the personal attacks El Cubano... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I personally have been helped by a mod and I commend him for what he's done, and he didn't have too...he chose too putting his ass on the line. I'm sure most if not all mods are like the one I had the pleasure of talking too. They're here to look out for the board and the members, in no way shape or form are they entitled to give out anything.

If you are living anywhere in the states then the mail-order should be your last resort. Go to any gym and someone can hook you up or fuck it talk to a high school kid and he will most likely have some kind of source. The way I see it is I never have to do mail order myself when you can get someone to do it for me if necc. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
