scammer
Going by the tone of this thread a ''new'' member is risking being regarded as a scammer if they attempt to buy or sell some thing. It appears that one can be a member of the IIS community for years, quietly staying in the background, enjoying the wealth of knowledge and information available here and then be regarded with suspicion as soon as they try to sell or buy something. All because,it appears, they haven't posted enough. For some, just joining the IIS community is enough. They don't want to have to join the other ''club''as well. I have been a member of this community for over four years, this is just my fifth post, and i was intending to place a telescope for sale add. But just in case someone in the ''club'' decides to out me as a''possible''scammer, i don't think I'll bother.
And just for your information, i have bought several items on IIS over the years with just one bad experience. A prolific ''poster'' and member of the ''club'' miss described and miss represented an item i purchased and then subjected me to a deluge of abuse when i complained. Prolific posting
doesn't mean that someone is honest, it may just mean that they have got too much to say.
Despite that experience I still buy from IIS members and haven't succumbed to paranoia, i just give people the benefit of the doubt with
a little due diligence thrown in.
Frank.
