[TowerTalk] thief

[Phil Camera]

Well Tom, typically what is done is the buyer hands over the money and 
then the seller hands over the goods.  Go to any store and you'll notice 
that this is the way transactions are done.  Of course there's a level 
of trust that must be established and maintained.  And, this reflector 
is not the place to discuss this topic, even if it is related to items 
related to the reflector.  Phil  KB9CRY
