This reminds me of an interesting story. A couple years ago I was trying to sell my broken x1 carbon laptop in ebay. I was looking for $400 and after posting and getting a few questions I realized I would not be able to close the sale because I had promised myself to never use PayPal again. So I removed my listing and contacted one of the users that got in touch. I tried to reason with him and explain that I would not deal with such a shady company but he denied my request (obviously) and said I could mail him the laptop and he would mail me back a $400 check. After thinking for a few minutes I decided to do just that and trust him. In my mind I'd rather give this laptop away (risking being conned) to somebody that will make some money out of its parts than give another cent to PayPal. About a week later I got my $400 and a message from him thanking me for trusting a stranger on the internet. Felt really good to stick to my gut and do something nice for a change.
