In addition to feedback, do you read initiated threads and posts by the person you consider dealing with? If there are any. I always do. But not necessarilly all of them.
When buying high priced items from someone, you bet. It gives me a sense of their relibility. (If they have been posting here steadily for years, you can be pretty assured that they are not going to be a scam artist and run off your cash.)
this has been my long time double check along with feedback history. I feel a lot more comfortable dealing with someone who posts in the Forums, kinda feels like reading their diary
Why would you be very wary of a member who posts a lot but doesn't have a system? They may just not want to go through the ordeal or have the time. Me I'm not posting a system because I just don't know if I can handle the scrutiny. That and a lot of the systems here are NICE!!
Most of the time I just check the sellers feedback. If it is really dated I'll check the forum. One thing I did one time with buyer that had negative feedback and a recent positive one was I contacted the member who had the positive experience and asked their thoughts on the buyer.
I didn't post my system but did mention it in a few threads. One reason why I didn't is that I don't have a digital camera! Another is that I am in love with it and want some privacy.
