Buying off of the Forums ?

[five.five-six]

Thats rather a myopic view. Everyone is new at some point. It doesn't make them good, or bad, just a recent join.

To the OP: Due Dilligence is the key in ANY over the net transaction(s). dont just jump.

meh, anyone with a low post count will always be a n00b and therefore subhuman and should never be taken seriously

If you have doubts, probably a safe bet to listen to yourself. You can always find good deals.

My first post was to sell a Stag 2h upper and it was sold to a fellow Calgunner. But, that was only a firearm accessory. Now, I'm trying to sell my P2000 40 S&W and no one's biting. Economy? Trust? Low Post? I know that no one can take my word for it that I'm legit, I have DROS for the firearm and am the original owner. Just my little vent secession. But yes, even though i have a low post count, i'm still skeptical about buying parts from people with low post count. Maybe after i hit 100 "BTTs" some one will be interested in it. haha just teasing.

How come the buyer hasnt given you any itrader feedback?? Better hit him up and build that rep son!

[shoupdawg]

how bad can you afford to lose $135?

This is what I ask myself whenever I buy anything remotely.

You guys should have left iTrader feedback for each other then.

I wouldn't touch it. I remember posting a fair amount before buying anything. I would be concerned with someone trying to burn me.

Trust me. Some people's first and only post will be a FS ad. Thats the type of people I was referring to. New members with the intent to learn and be a part of CG are always welcome by me and others. The more the merrier

VERY well said!

Wouldn't do it

I can tell you how many times Ive been contacted by a Ill take it from guys with one or 5 posts and then never to be heard from again. I simply dont deal with people that have few posts. i give them my cell # and if they do not call me to contact then I just walk away. Ive been starting to give neg rep due to the Ill take it BS. personally EVERY forum I belong to ( there are only about 4 of them) I never dealt with people with a very low low count.

Yup. If I find something I like, but the count is low, I will pass.
