members with no feedback?

For member (seller) without any feedback, I would deal with them if only the transaction involves smaller dollar amount to minimize risk.

some type of escrow transaction is the only way I would do it

The last time I had a potential Buyer with no A'gon feedback, he was local, & called me. I was selling a mint condition one mo. old TT. It was a weird conversation where he was asking some very odd questions, like, "what did I do for a living", he seemed very suspicious, like he thought even A'gon members with great feedback were selling fake items or something. Oh, & he also insisted that I deliver, & set up, the TT for him.

After about 10 minutes of this, I finally told him, he should go to a dealer, & buy a brand new one, if he wasn't comfortable buying used. Then he said, "oh, well maybe that means you're actually legitimate" (!!?).

Next day, I sold it to an A'gon member with good FB, happy transaction for both of us, no BS.

Some members seem to forget that they had no feedback at one time.Why do they feel that they are more worthy of trust than others are?I'm sure glad the first member I dealt with didn't have this attitude.

I get to know the person, and finalize the transaction once I'm comfortable the person is legitimate. Feedback on A'gon isn't the only way a person can learn about online purchasing or selling, and other things like good faith, and honesty.
