Sounds like your one of these $100.00 millionaires that you speak of. I would not be surprised if your staff consisted of 1 or 2 people. If you cant handle your ebay business I would hate to see your other operation.

A lot of people have their car's photo in their avatar, plus hometown. Maybe the VIN number in some registry. Picture of their plate, or their screen name IS their plate. A lot of other detail if one peruses the threads and posts. "What's the best security system?" "Someone threw a milkshake on my car at the Dairy Queen where I hang out every Friday night", etc. And you want to add your full name to the list of details anyone can get?
I'm sure if it were a "would be helpful at times" issue, like a ripoff, the VCA would help. Otherwsie the risks outweigh any benefits. There's already too much out there for someone who wants to do a little research.

I'd have to disagree with you Jon (And I only dare do it because it's not a Monday). Putting your full name on here not only fuels the crazies, but also gives the gold diggers or potential thieves a huge list of loaded individuals. I'd rather not be a victim of that and have to defend myself... blood splatter is so hard to clean off.

Well thats funny, my sig is my name and to those that would do me ill... Bring it, this Kentucky Hillibilly could happily find a special place for them. 
Seriously though I have been burned before on E-bay and so I think when buying and selling over there speed is of the essence. Just to much mistrust to save a buck or two sometimes.

I think Jon is right as he is in most things relating to a Viper. Technically if you don't use your actual name as your user name it remains confidential. And as Jon implies there is really no way for anyone to know with any certainity if your user name is actually your real name or a fake anyway?
This web forum was the first I ever subscribed to sometime around 1998 or 1999 and I used my real name for friendly trash talk with other drivers in Viperdays. That was a long time ago and I don't tend to use it anymore with other forums because yes it is used for nefarious purposes and provides unwanted information to anyone interested. However I agree with Jon people tend to say things in this and other forums that they might not do if their names were available. It is, what it is I guess?

Thanks for all the input, guys. JonB probably does know me. Shoot, I'm in Austin, Tx and I've got two vipers. That narrows it down a lot. I'm not rich, but this viper stuff is in my blood.
I never thought I'd win the headers off Ebay. I put in a low ball bid (the lowest possible) and 5 days later I get a notification that I won. I'm not even sure I'll put the headers on my car as it'll bump me into the Prep class at Viper Days (My yellow car already has a pair of JonB's Bellangers). But I won, and I just want my prize.
I think this thread got a little bigger than I thought it would, so its really OK if it just goes away.....
thanks for all the *** guys.
I'll give bigbadCJ a call.

Wow... That is some GREAT business sense!! I wish I would run my businesses like that!! hahaha..
I understand the ebay thing... sometimes the shipping gets a little laggy due to "life" or travels... but remember... all things come around.....
Actually sold a bike because of this thread... That is funny! He said I saw your thread on viperclub and have been looking for your #. I think that's bananas right there! Ebay is a hobby for me. I like it. I would never consider it a buisness as theres just no way i can make money there. But man is it fun to buy stuff! The headers were extremely slow in going out. I'd be mad.
im tooooooo busy, one lame excuse after another, im here, im there, im everyhere, but where you should be (taking care of business). WHO isnt freaking busy!!!
im still waiting for the tire pressure sensors ($30 items) i was promised 3-4 years ago from this top notch classy business man (cough-cough).
i had his email and tele# too, called/contacted several times with promises of return.
do you think i got my sensors? HELL-o NO
gotta love people who continually waste your time/effort/money and dont value you as a customer. you are so easily replaced by the countless other suckers in their -KY- line up. when someone's business motto is " Im doing you a Favor" or "So Many Asses, So little time" something gonna stink.
if i guy will shaft another for $30 they'll certainly do it for $800.
good luck!

I dont think you know the term "busy". I dont have the privlige of crawling in a bed at night. I have to go back to work. Im also sure you dont understand that i bought that wheel and tire and sensor from you! You did not buy it from me. I said when i dismounted the wheel and tire i would TRY to get that sensor to you. I am not in the viper buisness anymore. I may sell crap i find around the shop and that it! I think that wheel and tire is still sitting in the shop somewhere! Sensors are 8 bucks. Not 30. I have like 40 in the shop. Would you like one? Pm me your addy. I dont recall my phone ringing either... so you may wanna pass what your smoking. Nice try.
If you remember correctly you needed the rim ASAP ( no tire attached), you asked me to pack and ship it to you that same day, (doubt if your business associates/clients/victims receive that or any level service)
in my rush to get it to you, i accidently sent it to you by mistake (i forgot and left it on the rim, my fault no doubt)
while the rim was in transit, i realized i forgot to remove it and notified you, and you agreed to return it asap. (i also offerred to pay the return shipping cost) at one time it was even in and envelope and you were on your way to the post office.
over the course of a few months you repetedly promised to return it and never did, please dont worry yourself about me, i have replaced the sensor along time ago.
bottom line: wasted plently of my time (and your own for that matter) with the back and forth B.S.
im sure you'll be pleased to know, since the one you had was Calibrated to my car,
i wasted more time and $$, because i had to go to dealership get one and have a tech set the new one to my car.
ALL because you couldnt take 5 minutes to help a fellow viper brother out!
i rushed to do you a FAVOR and you didnt return the favor,

and you ask me what im smoking (lol)
