[SCOTI]

A deal is not completed until both parties get what they agreed on. Now, since we don't know all the details of this particular deal, it sounds like 'crawlin70' got the money they agreed on (in a timely manner?), but 'LGCC10' hasn't gotten his parts.

If I were to sell something to a fellow board member, I would follow up on that sale to make sure it went right. Tracking #'s, dates shipped, ETA's are all pretty simple things to communicate so the purchaser can feel confident the seller is doing his part.

If there's a problem w/shipping, simply communicate the prob so it doesn't get compounded. If it's going to take a few weeks to get it shipped because your busy, let the buyer know in advance. When something leaves your posession @ the shippers, your not absolved of the situation until it arrives in the buyers posession. If they were lost, then both parties should work toward a resolution that's equally acceptable. Always pay whatever extra it costs for a tracking # to trace the status of the shipment, as well as insurance, in case something goes wrong (although that still doesn't garantee[sp?] there won't be a problem).
