Thanks for the responses. I walked away from the deal - too many red flags.

Rich since you placed the "wanted" ad
anyone responding should send you the card(s) prior to your payment.

Unless I misunderstood something, that is not standard practice.

Agreed 100%. Unless I know you well and have done prior deals with you, there is zero chance in hell I will send a card before i receive payment (and the payment clears), even if the sale is the result of my answering a WTB post

Ryan that's how I've always done it.
If a seller posts an ad here or in a trade paper selling cards, I always pay 1st.
If I'm the seller or I put a want ad for what I need, they send it 1st.
Guess I'm in the minority

I'm not sure why putting a wanted ad would change the usual practice of the seller waiting to be paid. That said, like others, if I know someone I won't wait for payment before shipping.

Wow Jay, that’s awesome. I have never heard if that or even thought to ask. As with basically everything in life (at least goods), I always thought payment first.

Well, for everyone on this board, if I sell you a card, I will expect to be paid before I send it!
