safe to buy

[occisor arboris]

How safe is it to purchase a saw through an advertisement on this website? I would be sending a money order. Can you give any advice on how best to structure the deal so I don't get ripped off? Should I ask for certain information?

Many thanks,

Anytime you do anything like that you're taking a chance. I sold an amp years ago to a guy from South central LA. He sent me a paypal and then I sent him the amp. Theoretically I could have ripped him off but I don't roll that way. Hopefully you'll get someone like me who's honest and looking to deal. I'd say cash and carry is a better way to go.

What's the seller's history here?
Has he sold saws before?
Has he made 1,000 posts here or 10 posts?
When you search his posts and read what he says around here, does he seem like a decent guy or a *******?
