Has anyone dealt with humbyR16?
Has anyone dealt with him? His post seem very brief and he's not a big part of the board. He is going to sell me something rather expensive and has shown me pics of it. However, I just have this feeling.......
Can anyone provide me with more info on him? Thanks.

^That is the only response I have seen him post. After I saw that post about 10 times in the marketplace (all within a few minutes), it gave me the feeling he was trying to up his post numbers before trying to scam someone. He may be an honest guy, but there is no way to know. They stress only purchasing from members because the personal information required for a membership is more in depth than a guest. Proceed with caution.

Some tips to help to you from getting scammed
1. BUY & SELL LOCALLY if possible, you can see the product in person.
2. Contact the Community Organizer or post in the regional forum and see if the local people know the seller. If they know where he lives, even better.
3. If seller has very few posts, find reputable members who know him and his address.
4. Get seller's home phone number and verify it by calling. A phone number is better than nothing.
5. Do hw on the person, search his/her posts.
6. If you're selling and have many people interested, sell it to someone who is a member rather than a guest (a cc# is required and a trace is better than being left in the dark)
7. If skeptical, have the seller take a picture of the item with his/her username, date, and time. I know of a forum that requires this.
7a. If skeptical, don't buy.
8. If you're selling, make sure the check, money order, or paypal is cleared into your account before shipping (DUH)
9. Use Common Sense, if the price is too good to be true .... cmon now.
10. Pay with a credit card if going through paypal. Paypal does not help as much as a credit card company will.
Be very careful when dealing with a guest, especially one that contacts you to buy from or trade. Do some research, check their post history and if they are active in their local community. The forum has very little info on guests, seller beware.
