at least now, youll get ur money, just takes time. and in the future, yes you could avoid larger purchases, but you sometimes may miss out on a real good deal that way. life is about risks, that part sucks.

I used to sell a bunch of stuff all over different forums. Ans my thing was that id always use the same user name, so i could show i was active on many boards and in good standing. If i sold stuff on a forum, id also state i was an ebay user under the same name and they could look at my feedback over there.

On this site, there are several shady sellers whom the original njfboa group and BBQ group know about and are aware of. So its an option on other forums, maybe PM common/repeat users and see if they know anything about a certain seller if you are hesitant. on a board like ls1tech, its too wide spread really but smaller boards it may be worth it. just my 2 cents.
