with the numerous negative posts regarding botched transactions here, I thought I'd share my positive experiences with forum members and vendors. please follow suit. I've bought and sold countless items here and haven't had a bad experience yet. communication is key in my opinion.

Good move, Red!

It is unfortunate that several Forum members have had bad experiences in transactions with fellow members. My experience, while limited, has always been good. And I trust most Forum members I've ever run into.

Still, it's always a good idea when buying from someone you don't know to make sure you know who they are and something about them before you proceed.

As a reminder, the section rules/guidlines should be reviewed from time to time:

And, as Red suggests, if you have an endorsement of someone you've had a good experience with -- member or vendor -- feel free to give them a thumbs up in this thread!

NoProblem

I have done a handful of transactions on this forum, both buying and selling. Being that it was a small amount and over a long period of time. I want it to be known that I am an honest seller and buyer. So PLEASE fill confident that when you deal with me there will be no misleading, disloyalty, backbiting, swindling, being two-faced and so on. Every forum vendor and forum member that I have dealt with on this forum has been very straightforward. I will go back and look them up and post.

I have had so many good transactions on the forum that i can not list them all. I have met a lot of good people and have become good friends with some of them. I have received e-mails from forum members just saying Hello, not wanting anything just to say how are you doing, this is the only forum that i have been on that this happens. So Hello to all.
