What was the question again? Oh yeah, Talk to them on the phone and reduce your deal to writing in order to have evidence for litigation. Got it thanks.

This is a good topic! But experienced audio-goners already know what they're gonna do/not do visa-vis no-FB buyers or sellers, or at least how to approach the situation......

In the time it takes to think about this post, most of us could listen to/play some great music.....

I am just wondering what is wrong with paypal? Should seller or buyer be aware of paypal? I use paypal on ebay all the time. Just want to gain some advises before selling. Thanks.

Soundlock, please go back and read Marty's (Viridian) post in the humorous light that just about all his posts are.

He's NOT being serious - he's funny and entertaining via slapstick and/or ridiculous statements. He ligthens up even the most serious threads. Hopefully, you'll be able to now go forth, and have as many true belly laughs in these threads as so many of us do.

John, I'm glad I didn't offer to have my uncle visit you, instead of me. Whew!!!

Joe, LOL. I just don't see who would allow a stranger that they haven't even talked to over the phone into their home. Well...maybe if they were selling Girl Scout cookies. :)
I would be willing to meet the 'uncle' at XYZ supermarket parking lot, but he would not have my home address.

Chadnilz, I have done many transactions out of my home, and only checked ID a couple of times. Most experienced AudiogoN guys I know and trust even if I haven't met them in person. It's the guy with 0 or little feedback and no forum posts that concerns me. As for being beaten to death on my front porch, most here who know me know that is not one of my concerns, I can handle myself (see how scared Joe (Trelja) was?). :)
In fact, I'm so large that I often intimidate others without even trying or knowing it.
Now being shot to death on my front porch is more of a concern. That's why you need a thorough screening process.

No process is perfect, but if a guy has never heard of Wilson, Krell, Conrad Johnson, BAT, Audioquest, Shunyata or a million other audio companies, he is not coming to my house. This is an obvious tip. So all you would be criminals out there, do your homework. Read some hi-fi magazines, go to some stores, read some forums, search the archives and then you could fool me into letting you into my home. :)

How the hell did we get to this from 0 feedback sellers???
I've never had a problem with a 0 feedback seller coming into my home. :)
