Thanks for sharing Jeff.
The internet if a scary place to make purchases also to sellers as it seems scammers operate as sellers but also as buyers.
Horror stories abandoned so yes, one should buy the seller first.

One thing that I found out is that some fraudsters are making lots of posts to this forum as a way to build a history. Unless you know the buyer be very careful who you trust. Some of the sellers even have fake feedback and fake references to help support their fake posts. Bottom line. If the deal is too good to be true, don't buy. Buy the seller as they say...
Thanks for listening.
