How to tell if some one legit

@viridian , I'll never buy without clear and sharp pictures. More pictures better chance. I'll never buy from overseas, ever. I'll never buy without really good communication before the sale. 
Communication is the best defense to avoid unpleasant transactions.

The best way to deal with a member with zero feedback is to email him for his phone number. When you get it, call him because a phone call will give you a better sense on what type of person you are dealing with. If he refuses then tell him you're done. I know you can't use numeral digits in audiogon emails but you can spell it out in the email like:  two five three- two two three- five eight seven four, that should go through.

0 feedback 0 purchase.
