0 feedback sellers

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.

I gain confidence in persons with low or no feedback by communicating directly with them by telephone. Everyone at
Agon started at zero feedback

Many of us were "O" feedback sellers at one point (selling stuff before buying), but I agree with the post above, a phone call conversation does wonders and goes a long way to removing concern. Audiogon has been very good to me..

I generally agree with Viridian, although I'm a little more careful with 0 fb's than lots of fb's. I'm not opposed to a phone conversation, but prefer a record, and find if the seller is able and willing to correspond clearly and precisely, the odds are the deal will work out fine. I think this also applies to much feedback sellers. There are plenty of Audiogon sellers with pos feedback who want to be terse in their emails, which leaves too many things to chance for my taste.
