Mods on here manage you retards as it is for free, you think they give a shit about how your buying/selling transactions go? If your not responsible for your deals online (such as talking to the seller, checking out their past deals, etc) then its on you if you get fucked.

Bro, you're the one that got all butthurt when I said your idea was stupid and I was even trying to be nice. I'm not trying to 'fight' with anyone but you just keep running your mouth. I'm not judging you, if you would like to abuse drugs then go ahead, that's your prerogative, but don't get on my case because I have a different opinion of addiction then you.

Should have a post count requirement or at least a certain timeframe that you have to be active on the site to be able to buy/sell items. This way people couldn't just buy/sell from a brand new account. Of course, you may want to get an extra mod or 2 to handle all the spam posts that will probably get posted due to this. Only problem with this I see is the t-dome, since you can basically spam up your post count without having to worry lol

How would requiring someone to post a few times keep them from scamming? Yeah it would take a little longer for them to set up a scam, but that would be it.

The mod idea would only drive the cost of everything up. I've done 30+ transactions and never had a single problem. Know your buyer/seller and be smart. Its easy to no get scammed if you use a little sense. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

it would be more than a few times and you missed the part where I said you'd have to be an active member on the site for X amount of time.

This has worked on other sites I've been on to prevent scamming.

i've bought and sold a lot of car audio over the years. most of my systems were paid for from the proceeds of buying cheap, testing/fixing, then selling. i sell by taking such detailed pictures - and pictures of measurements, that the buyers have a high confidence. i'm also honest and don't receive complaints. everything is as advertised. if i'm selling an amp and you want proof it works - i'll scope it with a dummy load.

what it boils down to is that there are scammers everywhere - ebay, CL, forums, etc. you can weed them out by being careful in your purchases. CA.com has rules for classifieds, but the rules don't state pics of proof of function. i.e. use a DMM to measure the coils or output of the amp while powered and fed a signal. if don't own a DMM i won't buy audio from you anyway. and if you can't take those pics then you can only ask for 1/2 the value of the product.

i have a test bench setup, i can fully test amplifiers/speakers/headunits/eq's/etc. but it's time consuming and you always take a risk.

over the years, i've had a few DOA's. sometimes you work it out with the seller, sometimes you are screwed. it's just the risk we run when buying used from strangers online. usually, forums are a bit safer when buying from regulars and the feedback systems can help raise flags.

lastly, call the person. talk to them. if you're gonna buy something, have a conversation with them about it. you can usually figure out if they are sincere pretty quickly.

Just don't buy anything from someone with no references, or have them ship first. Even if you setup this kind of system, most will not use it and just sell and buy like they always have been.

That's a big one in my eyes, even if it's only via text, communication and conversation can seal a deal. Most of my transactions, whether buying or selling, will usually entail a conversation with the other party. Some talk about the product, some talk otherwise. You can usually get a feel for sincerity and also get a feel for the persons experience in audio and whether or not the product was mistreated, etc. At the end of the day, and it's been repeated plenty, it's a risk.

THIS I bought and sold a lot on here and has never been scammed because I only buy from sellers with lots of refs it amazes me how many buyers ignore refs when it comes to getting a good deal sometimes a deal that's to good to be true

maybe we should just make sure that whom ever is selling anything should have a certain amount of posts and establish him or herself as an active member,not someone who just comes here to sell their stuff.lets say like 100 or so posts before selling is allowed.and if they are buying it must be paid thru paypal or some other way that protects the seller from people who are noobs to the forum.just a suggestion. i also see alot of noobs posting with no user names or dates and some with not even as much as a pic.i know trying to keep up with all the posts is a lot of work some times as i'm a mod and admin on another forum.so if we need a couple more people for just this that would be cool too.
