I've had many transactions now on the site, buying and selling. Maybe I've been lucky, but I'd rate all my experiences as 4-5 stars and I hope the people I have done business with have felt the same - but I cannot be sure of other's feelings. But I've been cautious when it particularly mattered (higher $s usually) - it was my job to protect my interests, not someone else's.
I've had people PM me re issues, sellers and with their thoughts on goods in which I expressed an interest in the thread - PMs whose advice I have accepted or not, but all of which I have appreciated - I suggest that we leave it that way - informal private advice being shared around.
Sorry for being the wet blanket. Perhaps I'm too pessimistic and we need to give it a go at least?  |
Not at all Eric, you're a valued member here, and thanks for your input
i should imagine that anything could be edited by mods, etc. and i should also imagine very strict rules regarding what could or couldnt be commented on, i know what you mean though, its possibly open to abuse, although we are lucky, that amateur astronomers tend to respect each other highly enough to not let this happen
