I have an opportunity to purchase a tent for my rig, which is what I want. The guy that makes this seems legit and honest. Having said that he wants 1/2 down now and then when he finishes the build he wants the other 1/2. I am ok with this, but this is where I get a little sketched out he wants the payment in check form and then he waits for it to clear to begin work. No one else makes this type of tent that I have found. I have looked and do not see any reviews for his product which again seems a little sketchy. Its a little mom pop type business and again seems like he is on the up and up. Am I being overly concerned here? What are your thoughts? Thanks

    If you wanna be sure, find someone hes made one for already for an opinion. Might have to ask him for references.

    Im so much of a do it myself type. If i want something custom, Ill just research materials and practices, and build it myself.

    Thanks for the tips guys. Yes indeed it is much much more than 45.00. I will share more about it in a couple days, I don't want to curse my odds of getting it. I will contact the seller once I know I have the funds to make it happen, then I will share.

    I would be leery if he doesn't accept the normal forms of payment used on EBay, PayPal, etc. You lose all ability to fight any issues if you don't have a form of payment that allows for you to go back to the seller. If you send him a check and he waits until it clears, there is nothing you can do to recover for non performance. That would be a huge red flag to me. With PayPal , you would have someone in your corner if there are issues. If he complains about the fees PayPal charges, I would even offer to help cover those fees just to give me the peace of mind. Good luck!
