DO NOT SELL OR BUY FROM THAILAND

I admit, I fell for a scammer from Thailand, even though I was warned. It just was that it took forever to sell my Stealth cables at a give away price. These cables are awesome, but evidently not popular in the USA. I refused to send the cables to the buyer because he wanted me to declare the value at $30 USD for custom fees. So he had me direct the shipment to his friend in SoCal. Now, after UPS (and I insured the cables for $4,000 to save on shipping-my fault) delivered the package, the buyer says his friend did not sign and receive the cables! Just be aware A-Gon members, and don't be foolish like me.

@talk2me , did you send the cables to the third party recipient in SoCal without having received payment in advance?

If you did, got no one to blame but yourself especially an international transaction.  Doesn't matter if Thailand, UK, Hermosa Beach, CA, Germany ...

I've sold to Thailand, Hong Kong, Russia, Brazil, Italy ... without problems. There are honest and dishonest people all over the world and to make a blanket statement about Thailand is ignorant.

You were desperate and made mistakes so takes some personal responsibilitie instead of blaming a country.

Look, the guy got ripped off and he's upset. Who wouldn't be? 
That doesn't make his post correct.  Maybe same reason he got ripped off ... was desperate and made irrational decisions?
He's just trying to warn you so you don't repeat his experience. He admits he made mistakes, but that doesn't make him an idiot.
If warning not to be an idiot is fine but to avoid a country is irrational based on A transaction.
