Excellent suggestions, DADS50
Also, I suggest being careful buying-from or selling to a person with very few posts. I have been burned twice (in 14 years) by sell-and-disappear sellers. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 117 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 117 | Thanks for the advice. I will try to post his email | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,076 Authorized Pest | | Authorized Pest Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,076 | John Avelar is not a member of the forum (and we are still checking since we have some information on / about him). He has recently stirred up a bit of questionable doings -- that have happened on occasion here and on other sites we know of. Besides trying to sniff him out, we hope to start a tip on how to avoid being ripped off over the internet. I was waiting for John to come home from ATHS Convention for him to take the lead on this.
I would suggest you NOT buy anything from him, until we can get more information ourselves.

Also, Tim is correct: do not put your email address, phone number or address in a Swap Meet post. People who use the forum know how to contact members via PM. In your profile, you may also want to delete your email address and get all your messages via PM. Then PLEASE remember to clean out your PM box every now and then. (We get a lot of email from folks who "can't get thru" to someone because their PM box is full.)
