I will admit it.   I was wreckless trying to acquire that DW before someone beat me to it.  It was DWF members that got me to pump the brakes and take a look at the situation objectively, and saved me from kissing my $$$$ goodbye forever.   So Thank you! 

Let's make this thread about saving others some embarrassment, grief, and their money.  

Let's list Tips and Best Practices to avoid being scammed Buying or Selling.  

Sometimes a symptom of can be lapse of common sense in the heat of the chase.

What other DWF members reminded me recently: 

If he won't take the time to call you, or let you call him, there's a problem.   Email addresses  and ph#s are spoofed all the time.

Ask for a picture of the item with that day's newspaper or date written on a piece of paper with it.   Scan the internet for old identical images of what they posted or sent.   If the pictures are poor resolution, and him to retake on a different background

In person:  Meet at local Police Station.  

Public place: You choose the location.  

Unknown location?   WHY?   Take a friend.   An armed friend is better.

WHAT ELSE CAN WE ADD TO "Not let the bastards win"?
