Recently I made an offer for some chips (well over $500) which was accepted. The seller would not send the chips until he received my check. I cancelled the deal.
What brought this to mind is that recently I offered coins on the BB. One group of coins was for about $7000 and the second group was for about $3000. I received offers from club members that I don't believe I have ever dealt with. When I came to terms on both deals, I sent the coins out immediately (actually I agreed on the $3000 deal yesterday. Coins will go out Monday).

My theory is why should trust be a one way street. Why does one side of the deal deserve trust while the other doesn't.

It really annoys me when the seller will not send my chips until he gets my check (even worse waiting for it to clear)

Does anyone else feel this way.
