Just about every month.I sold two items on this site this month, already.
I guess there's always that one First Sale to break through. There's always a first time for everybody, right?So if it's on This forum for example (GTA), then I figure I would check the seller's post count, maybe read a few of them, see how long it's been since they first joined up, etc., and go from there. Especially if he or she is selling something I really want.And if I was that first-time seller, I would wait until I built up some decent cred (in fact you're not even allowed to sell until after after a month or so here, right?) and maybe make the first item a heck of a deal just to help break through the "unknown seller" factor. But it wouldn't be too expensive an item that first time, heh heh...
dont send money orders to anyone on AA classifieds.. Paypal only , and make sure its for goods and services.. Ive bought and sold a lot of stuff over there. There are constant scammers, but their not all easy to spot

I don't know any of you guys either but I'm pretty comfortable if several people on a forum are saying good things about a seller/individual.

I don't know any of you guys either but I'm pretty comfortable if several people on a forum are saying good things about a seller/individual.I've made good purchases on that site. There are reputable reputable sellers there, but there are definitely scammers there, too. The last two ads I've followed up on were scams and I did not send the check. If the seller won't accept PayPal goods and services, I am very skeptical. The first thing I do is search the wording and pictures of the ads to see of they were lifted from the web. If I'm still interested, I'll try to have a phone conversation with the seller to feel them out, or ask them to send different pics, etc. Good luck!

If you're asking, you must know something about the history of the website, and buying guns. New to the sport, I would stay clear of that site for guns.

This is the only place I really come to on the net for first hand air gun info.

Just by emailing back & forth you can usually tell if a guy is legit. You can always give your phone number and ask them to call you. If you dont feel confident after talking to them dont do the sale/purchase. We have all talked to liars. They tend to avoid direct questions and ramble on about BS stuff. Paypal is the best way to go. Their solutions are lengthy and frustrating at times but are better than the USPS solutions.I hesitate to say that I have never been burned by a seller on GTA. AA, AGW(old yellow) & CAPOF. So KNOCK ON WOOD!
