I regret having to post this.

In mid-December Boxbirder (Mark Parrella) posted on the forum that he needed a Model 21 buttstock. I had an extra. We exchanged emails and photos of the stock and Mark agreed to buy it for $85 plus shipping. Mark said he needed it quickly and that he was sending a check. Relying on his word and his long presence on this forum, I mailed the stock on December 27 before I received his check.

Now, almost six weeks later, I am still waiting for Mark's check. I've called and emailed him repeatedly and I have received no response other than a voicemail that he had received the stock (I had told him that I was preparing to file an insurance claim with the USPS).

Be careful.
