    You cant inforce any laws to prevent this sort of action by shyster buyers, as long as you have uneducated sellers. Anytime you send someone something without knowing what you are going to get paid lends yourself to being ripped off. Cash for gold is a perfect example, they dont tell you what they pay and rely on you having no clue as to what your gold is worth, they say they dont pay until your item is processed and melted, no way for you to get your item back if you are not satisfied with what you recieve.
    I would much rather get a set price for what i cary in that way if its downgraded i can find out why it was downgraded and make an educated decision on what i am going to do with my item.
    My local yard pays $.50 for high grade boards, i was saving all of mine up to make it worth my time to take them in, now i have found this site, i have gained some education and will not settle for that low of a price. I will go to someone on here to sell to.
