I'm not sure that just being honest is all there is to it.  I had a guy
on this list, (name will not be disclosed) that was very honest, but
obviously lazy.  He states he had a genneral group of parts, for
sale.  I ask for a picture, witch he could not produce.  I than
ask about a very specific parts.  He stated it was not in the group,
I forget why.   Since he was stating "everthing" in a genneral group,
but failed to stated what was missing, I then asked for a detailed list
of parts, and a description of each parts condition. I recieved no
details of anything.   He stated he sent me a list, and that my spam
blocked had spotted it.  I have no spam blocker setup, so clearly
his lack of effort killed the deal.   So deals can get ugly, for
many reasons.
