    One other thing, check out what kind of activity a seller or buyer has if they are not someone that you are familiar with. Easily done by searhcing for their user name and see what kind of conversations, etc. I would never buy from someone that doesn't have some posts to their name, nut that is just me...

    I used to do a lot of buying and selling via friends and family, but was naive and have converted to mostly G&S - exceptions are with people I've worked with before or have know on given sites for years.
    yeah I was just naive and hope others won’t be misguided. I decided just to buy it at amok self. All the people here are great And really kind so I feel very welcome

    I got scammed not too long ago, maybe 3 weeks. Unfortunately, 1 jerk can make it tough to trust all the honest folks.

    Ah, Freek so sorry this was your intro to the for sale forums. I’ve never had a problem but clearly now we need to be on the look out.... sigh.

    That sucks man, I've had a few PM's warning me about potential people on the forums trying to scam people. Guess thats anywhere.

    I think this unfortunately happens on a lot of forums, it’s disappointing that people put the effort into ripping people off.

    Just the world we live in unfortunately.

    This is the first time I am hearing of a transaction here that has gone bad.

    Curious if the OPs transaction was a result of PMs rather than in the Marketplace forums..

    My bad transaction was a PM from a WTB I posted a few weeks ago. Lesson learned, I will definitely be a little more thorough looking over potential sellers.
