0 feedback sellers

A couple of phone calls to test their validitity, prefferably a local sale, and/or depending on local and price of unit, a credit card through Paypal.

Many times you can tell through a phone conversation whether it is indeed an audiophile you are speaking to, or just some guy selling stolen goods.

I am also leery of buyers with 0 feedback.

Cheers,
John

Tvad, is of course right. I'm just as leery of sellers with very recent feedback, especially if the feedback is from individuals with little or recent feedback themselves. John's advise is good, though, I'm no fan of Paypal.
