Beware of Dennis Ray Ball aka dendin54 for he will rip you off. I hate it has come to this, but we worked out a trade and I sent him 2 kits which he received on Dec 26. The packaged was tracked and he said he had received it and that he had to get a tracking number for my package from his wife. Needless to say never received a tracking number from him and he won't answer his PM's or Txt's. So if your thinking of doing any trading with him BEWARE! We have a good traders and sellers pinned topic why not a bad traders and sellers pinned topic?

Technically what this guy is doing is mail fraud, if you have the communication between you stating the condition of the deal, you have the proof to file a complaint. And unless it has changed, the penalties are pretty harsh.

The big reason why I always insist on Postal Money Orders for purchases or sales here at Armorama is that it's another level of protection against using the mail for fraud. While this maybe a mis-guided idea using the Postal Payment System as an extra layer of protection against mail fraud it can't hurt !
Good Luck you guys ! What that guy did is both illegal and morally WRONG!

I fail to see how you can use a Postal Money Order when trading kits (read the first post)?

Patrick,

In the US it is with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. Not sure about Canada though. They will be getting one from me.

off topic but there is something more secure when doing mail order, if you want to pay a few bucks when selling, you can use COD (collect on delivery) with postal service, it cost a little but postal dude collects the money for you upon delivery and send you the money in check few days later, comes with tracking and what not.

I think we get the point, no need to continue on with this.
