In my short time hear I have read more than a few post about someone getting screwed on a deal. Now what we do on a few other sites I'm on is make a post about the deal and the terms ( cost,ship date,condition of item ect ect) after both party's agree to the terms publicly. The money,trade item ect is sent. If somthing goes wrong ( item not as dicribed, not shipped on time, no tracking number ect ect) it is posted for the hole forum to see. After both party's are happy the thread is locked not deleted. So other members that may end up dealing with one of the party's can see how they have been in other sales. Just a thought. Take it leave it thought I would bring it up and see what you thought about it.
