[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1658891, member: 56379"] I should also say that the vast majority of folks selling used electronics (phones, computers, tablets, etc.)…are good honest hard-working folks like you & me.:) I've been purchasing used electronics for probably 10 years via Craig's List…and close to 15 years via eBay. I'm talking lots & lots of transactions. I think that maybe 1-2 purchases over those 10 years my "spider-sense" was going off a bit. You just got to use your best judgement of the individual. Before the transaction lots of emails & questions, Then when you meet face to face…evaluate things they say, things they do, how they represent the item, body language, etc. And of course also use best judgement when THROUGHLY examining & testing the item. Of course (for example) even if I've done 100 transactions…and had one go wrong (99% success rate)…I still wouldn't be very happy about the one rip-off. But again. Most folks are honest. If the person seems "shifty"…or the price is "too good to be true"…then pass on the deal.;) - Nick [/QUOTE]
