FYI: We are a state licensed pawn shop and by law must deal with our local police. We have dealt with a lot of online customers (check our feedback) and we've been fortunate to keep most of our customers satisfied with their purchase. Part of this success was due to our commitment as sellers to our buyers.
We take internet fraud very seriously. We put markings on screws, use numbered hologram stickers, and take photos of hidden markings and serial numbers to identify our items. We want to discourage any customer who intends to commit fraud. To validate our loss for tax and insurance claims, we have to report and file charges against our customer for fraud (switching items, taking parts, alteration, or other claims), wire fraud (using internet for fraud) and mail fraud (using the USPS to commit fraud is a federal crime) to our (and maybe your) local police, eBay and Paypal. Please do not even try to commit fraud. Handle our items with care. Do not even attempt to open the box if you change your mind during transit, send our item for repair, damage, or alter our item. It is a waste of time and money for both parties and we guarantee you that we will use our resources to file a police report and put a record on you. We are a pawn shop, we have the money to finance a fight against fraud.
