Reading threads and posts when selling and buying


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.

I do too, but when a person has participated in a large number of threads and hasn't posted their system it makes me very wary.
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.)

My two cents worth anyway.
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
