well that pretty well sums it up makes sense to me

People are just less likely to commit crimes in their own homes when conducting a transaction.
Think about it. If you have a stolen gun, are you more likely to invite the buyer to your home? If you have even half a brain? or are you more likely to meet someplace in 'public' and then disappear?
Same thing if you are a felon wanting to buy. Are you more likely to meet in public to make the transaction, or invite the seller to your home?
Most criminals/shady people would rather meet in public and leave no trail, not invite you to their home. Common-sense.
Yes, their are idiot criminals, but most are not so stupid as to let you come to their home, where you can then potentially send the police to get them later.
I understand what you are trying to say, but I'm not going to anyone's house I don't know to buy anything other than a pool table. Public places for me thanks.
PS as to the spelling thing, yeah. I can't recommend IE Spell enough for those running Internet Explorer. Integrates seamlessly and works. Because, dang, forums see some pitiful spelling.
Thanks "Dude" , that is exactly what I felt, even though he is a prolific seller.

I don't have any new clues about early warnings of a poor purchaser, but I do have some items that may point out that the purchaser/seller is honest.
1. Good written communication (I know this has already been pointed out)
2. Willingness to exchange home/cell phone numbers
3. Check out their previous post, not just the WTS/WTB. Are they helpful, positive are they contributing to this forum?
4. Check their trade rating...
5. Talk to them over the phone then follow up with an email with your understanding of the details this way both of you have the deal in writing.
In my limited experience on this board, I have nothing but very positive experiences with the members of this board! Thus far I have traded, sold and purchased without any problems!
Thanks to all that help keeps this forum running smooth!
