is it a good idea to deal with banned members of this board without knowing exactly why they're banned? can banned members be trusted?

thanks.

I wouldn't, but hey, that's just me.

Bassethounds shouldn't be dealt with!

Saying that I'm sure I wouldn't.

Banning isn't exactly random, most members receive warnings? And can't you back down then, it tells you something about your character.

masterserg · 12 January 2012, 05:32 AM

I would not.

roach7 · 12 January 2012, 05:49 AM

yes, i'm aware of the Bassethounds fiasco...

there are other sellers that had great feedback who's now banned...

Is it a hypothetical question, or do you have a deal working elsewhere with a seller who got banned here?

id explain your situation with a mod and perphaps they will tell you if he was banned for anything related to buying and selling.

It's like a Casino game. I'm assuming u r buying/selling. If you r buying from X bc of a better price you have to ask yourself : is it worth the x amount I'm saving vs the possibility of buying a replica or not getting the watch at all. Say on a Sub: $500 savings compared to a trusted seller's price or paying X $5000 and not getting a real watch. You can workout the scenario if you are selling, right?

and that's exactly why it causes more confusion when you see a seller with great feedback but they end up banned

but i will do the due diligence.

thx

In addition to the other advice consider that each deal stands on its own. The item may or may not meet your expectations.

I'm not so sure mods can reveal reasons - but if you do get info it is only as good as that moment in time when that issue happened.

Good luck - but my advice is to choose a deal from a trusted seller here.
