[QUOTE="trekrok, post: 3545162, member: 6668"] I may have just been lucky, but I haven't had any issues in the classifieds. I do more buying than selling, so that may come into play, not sure. But for me, I would just structure the deal depending on risk. If I was dealing with an 'unproven' member, I'd be more inclined to meet closer to my home and maybe have more communications to feel them out. Seems like all the profile type information is provided by the forum, so everyone just needs to determine if they want to transact with someone. From a safety perspective, I've always thought the transactions on here were probably safer than most by virtue of what this place is. I'd be surprised if both sides of a transaction among parties here weren't armed. I may be crediting the criminal with too much smarts, but if I was them, I'd rather scam or rob someone around an iphone than a gun. If I'd had issues maybe I'd feel differently. But, as it is, I don't see a big problem. More annoyances, that can be fairly easily mitigated in my humble opinion. That said, now I'll probably get mugged at my next deal, lol. [/QUOTE]
