I dont mean to jump into the fray, but he has a very valid point. Well I agree that anyone should be able to join, even if only to sell their equipment.

I personally would not purchase anything from someone in these threads, who had a post count of 1 on a sale thread. We used to be overwhelmed with people signing up and pasting ads selling all kinds of stuff. Of course I would not send money to Nigeria either.

I think pointing out the concern to other users is very valid.

TRUST NOBODY!!

The best thing to do in situations like this is to use a broker, like escrow.com so then nobody gets scammed.
