Title: FE on orders over $XXX
Post by: bertiebadger on August 30, 2012, 05:53 pm
I've noticed more and more vendors asking for people to FE on orders over a certain amount.  Tbh this is exactly the opposite of what I prefer as surely this leaves the buyer open to be ripped off on larger orders?

I can see from a vendors pov that having cash tied up is a pain and/or there's potential for a buyer trying to scam them but after my recent run in with lebouef1 I'm not willing to go out of escrow above a small amount with anyone.

Same here.

Prices are doing my head in at the moment on here for weed.

$25/gram + for soap bar and wet, fresh weed.

Not on your Nelly. For the price of an ounce I can fly return to Amsterdam, stay one night in a five star, have a good smoke and still post an ounce home. Ridiculous.
