I agree to proceed with caution with any online transaction. That said, we all had to start somewhere.
About 15 years ago I had a pair of large floor standing loudspeakers for sale here on Agon. A buyer reached out to me from the other side of the country with interest. He was a new member with zero transactions or feedback. I was skeptical of course, but insisted that we speak on the phone. He seemed genuine and was mindful of his lack of history on Audiogon. After a long conversation I took a chance on him and everything turned out fine.
So remember, you (all of us) had that "first" Audiogon transaction and someone had to trust you as well.
