Re: [anabatic] Question about buying
We have not yet discovered a scam on these classifieds.

Who is the seller? I bet there are forum posters who know and can vouch for them.

well if there has never been a scam I am not worried about who the poster is, he has been registered for sometime, its just always in the back of my mind, thanks so much...

ok, so i know on dropzone.com there are always a lot of scams, im just wondering how safe is it to buy from overseas, I have never done it and dont really want to but someone on here has a rig that will fit me well and wanted to purchase, but the over seas thing always gets me... what do you guys think?

this is quite different from dz.com classifieds. I have never seen a scam here. But talking to people via phone would eliminate 90% of the scams if not more. You can also post the link to the ad it right here in the public forum, and I bet most people are known by somebody on this forum.

good luck.

just food for thought. It's never late for the scammers to appear - better to double check and not loose. A good deal is a good deal only once you have the product in your hands. Paying for a good deal and never getting the product isn't exactly a good deal :)

Re: [anabatic] Question about buying
Keep in mind, depending on where it's coming from, shipping costs can be a bit high. Shipping on a rig from the UK a few years ago would have been about $160 US.
