I ship immediately. Trust is a two-way street. I recently paid $500 for a chip from fellow club member Randy Pisane. I had never had any dealings with him. Randy shipped the chip Priority the next morning. I sent my check regular mail. I probably got my chip before Randy got my check.

Having said this, I have gotten screwed by one club member for about $30. Of course he said he paid me but didn't answer my email asking for a scan of the cancelled check. Even so, I will continue to ship immediately.
