I agree, but also disagree. I'm a new member that used this forum to sell items. Post count isn't always the clear indicator of whether someone is trustworthy. This same discussion pops up on all the forums and people get screwed by newbies as well as by bozos that have 100's of posts. I frequent multiple forums looking for deals and try to provide a few when I can. Bottom line is the few criminals that are around usually find a way to screw someone, it's the nature of the beast. The only true way to be safe is to buy retail, but to me I would rather take that small risk to save more $ and continually upgrade my equipment. Maybe I'm a sucker |

I agree that post count isn't a perfect criterion for judging a seller, but I think the seller should at the very least understand any distrust he encounters due to it.
I myself finally got a guy to sell a rod on ebay so my butt would be covered too. I watched this guy shop this same rod around on about 12 different fishing boards...and nobody would bite, even though it was a great price. Turns out the guy was legit, as far as I can tell...I even bought a second one from him soon afterwards, but I was wary at first, and rightly so.
