I needed a hydraulic pump for an IH 504, and posted my need on this board. A frequent poster, whose handle you would all recognize, responded to my post and said he had one, but didn't know if it was any good or not.
I proposed the following: I'll send you 50 bucks. You send the pump, I'll put it on the tractor. If its good, I'll send you another $150. If its not, I'll tell you, and you refund my 50 less your shipping costs, and I'll send the pump back to you at my expense. He proposed one change- if the pump's no good, I don't want it back. Just junk it, and I'll refund your 50 less my shipping.
The deal was struck, the pump arrived, I put it on, and it worked OK. I sent the 150, and the deal was completed.
A postscript, that I didn't even tell him about- it turned out that my pump was probably OK all along- I thought a pipe plug on the side of the case was the proper fill level, but it turned out that the pump was continually starving for oil at that level. So now I've got two pumps.
As a bonus, I got to read a complete issue of the Omaha newspaper that was used for packing.
Wish I could always make deals like that. It seems like most of the guys on here make it a point of honor to deal fairly with each other. There's so many scammers around, that by god, I'm gonna bend over backwards to be fair. Good for all of us.
