Unless it's the PayPal credit card, of course...

People use the words, "confirmed" and "secure" and "safe" like they use
"good" and "bad". - As if they were absolutes, rather than relative terms.

Speaks volums of the stupidity of the buyer, doesn't it? What parts are
still good? Who would buy crap like that without a complete teardown? Does
this explain why "Nikon Plastic" is so expensive? For the same reason that
people pay hugely inflated prices for harley-Davidson motorcycles?

Sheesh...

Hey, the way I look at it is if the stupid's money is still green I don't
argue with them. I love em stupid. You simply can't compare a Harley to a
Nikkor because anyone that buys a Harley is buying a status symbol and
expects to get junk. The Nikkor is a piece of precision optical equipment
that set the standard for all other manufacturers to try to emulate. I do
agree that a DX lens is the "Harley" in the pack and you expect to get junk.
It's still good to see that even crappy flooded out DX lenses commands a
decent price.

This is true if you are buying from total strangers, such as most eBay
purchases....However, if you buy from reputable dealers with whom you have
previous experience, then credit cards can be very handy.....Especially if
you are buying brand new merchandise.....For example, I buy sheet music and
music books new from Amazon.com using my VISA card, and have never had a
problem.....I also buy used lenses from KEH using my VISA.....A little more
risky perhaps, but I have never had any problem there either.

Agreed. My PP account is backed by a bank account with a $0 balance
until I choose to purchase something, shipping goes to a U.S. mail drop.

No, not the cheapest wheels, but I still drive my '95 FLHTCUI when I'm
stateside. Bought new, still runs like it. I call it my two-wheel
Timex with a ho-lotta chrome.

I've done that several times. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

How about sending me $6,234 in bills of low denomination, (nothing over
$20) wrapped in a plain brown envelope, delivered by a brown shoed square
in the dead of night.

I'll be waiting breathlessly on the corner of 4th and 20th.
