RE: checks

[rupp99@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I just sent a bunch of parts to a guy I've never met in Illinois,I'm in 
Minnesota.
Told him on the phone that if they were as I described and you like 
them....send me the money($565.00)If you dont like them we can 
negotiate.He called....parts better than described...money order on it's 
way.Been doing it like that for 30 years and never once had a 
problem.Key is the phone call.If they wont call then it's cash up 
front.You can learn a lot about a person in just one call.

Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.  I.e., send parts/car transactions and negotiations as well as other personal messages only to the intended recipient, not to the Clubhouse public address. This practice will protect your privacy, reduce the total volume of mail and fine tune the content signal to Mopar topic.  Thanks!
