The Negative iTrader ratings are flying on TR more than ever before. Maybe its the economy, maybe it's just the way it's always been. With that said, I am starting this thread and asking you for your help. Here is the deal.

Come in an post what a TR Buyer can do/ask for/inspect/etc. before purchasing a Used or even New Part from a TR Seller.

Example 1. Check TR iTRader rating of the TR Seller before contacting the Seller or even posting in their FS thread.

Example 2. When buying a cam or a set of cams look for extensive wear on the lobes, cracks near the key-way.

Example 3. Ask for a VIN # even when the car isn't being parted out to ensure that the part is from the year the seller says it is and to check that it is not a stolen part.

As this goes along I'll be making a write up to add to the sticky that DRMORTY has already provided on this page and then add a link back to that in the other stickies. Thereby keeping the number of stickies we have in our forums down.

Here is your chance to help the community out.

Thanks in advance.
