No escrow?

I'm new here and I've tried to buy several things but no seller will accept escrow (www.escrow.com) it seems, even if I cover all costs. Why is that? Are folks here really sending thousands of dollars to complete strangers with no guarantees??

Yes if they make some kind of contact and are comfortable.I have 12 times which means 12 other people did it too.There are thousands others......the bloodstained bandits are quite rare here.I was hesitant at first and now its casual.Refreshing really.As usual YMMV,Bob

Many of the members here use Paypal.

Since you might not have a paypal account and if you see something that you are interested in buying, offer to pay with a money order.

Look at the sellers rating. If he/she has a high rating you should be ok.

Personally, I don't ship until I have been paid and I have always been ok to pay upfront. In many years of dealing on Audiogon I have not had any big issues ... yet.
