In the future, if this gets successful and really high priced items get on the list (>$1k) then I will likely have to figure out deposits and such but for now, having a paper trail of account info from the donation, having real information on the person, this pretty well takes care of anything I need to prosecute a thief. Oh, and I'd welcome being the litigator in such a case even though I stay outta court rooms as much as possible. Of course in the US I would have to do things a bit differently but I've set up ways to work around all that.
Anyhow, I don't want money changing hands this early on in the game. It makes things complicated. If we do get up to the level of expense like electostat systems (which would be required since most people don't own electrostatic amps) then cash deposits would be required and of course refunded the same day as the item is received by the next person in line.
