I don't take the risk with people on internet forums. I've bought (used) and sold quite a few guitars, but since eBay went down the tubes, I've used GC Used Online (for buying) and Elderly (for buying and selling/trading). I may lose some money that way, but there's no stress and little possibility that the deal will take a nasty turn.

I've sold 2 guitars on this forum to first time posters. I did ask them about it and in both cases they were googling for a specific guitar and that is what prompted them to register. (A K20 Taylor and a Fender 52 Re-issue Coppercaster) This also happened with a Guild JF 30-12 on the Larrivee Forum. All transactions went smooth with no issues. I did decline one transaction from a first time poster I didn't feel comfortable with.
Ask questions and get guaranteed funds prior to shipping.

I've heard many horror stories about how PayPal buyers have all the rights and can pull off a number of simple scams to get their payment back and keep the item. For example, a buyer can claim that the item never arrived, even when a sig I supposedly required. They simply claim that the driver left the item even though no one was home and that the item then was stolen. Other people confirm that requiring a sig and not getting it does happen. They come home from work and find a package on the doorstep that required a sig. No one here has ever had a buyer pull a scam through PayPal? Seriously, I'd like to know. Reid |

Ive bought guitars on this forum several times -every transaction was different , but they all went well . I like Paypal -its secure and it works. i also like dealing with people i can meet for trades or deals -Ive done that twice -
I would never send a money order etc. -- sorry , its just to easy or tempting for someone to take the money and run - I have my own criteria -i like to talk to the person first - and ask alot of questions - thats me ----
