Nice to know that this is not as wide spread as some ads I've seen would
lead one to believe.

The tape idea has another side to it, as a buyer I have a right to
inspect my purchase to assure that I received what I paid for.  An
unscrupulous seller could attempt to use this in various ways for their
own gain as well.

At some point there has to be a modicum of trust between the parties.
I've inquired about equipment in the past and sometimes there is just a
vibe that tells me to move on.  I've gotten some grief for doing so.  Oh
well.

73, Nate
