I've made it so this forum is now visible to everyone. If someone PMs you and offers you something you are looking for - do your research!!!!!
We have had a number of people scammed by these offers from people with no posts who are just here to scam! Do not buy from someone with no posts or a very recent join date who PMs you out of the blue with just the item you are looking for. And if you do decide to deal with them - don't pay with "gift."
New members can't post "for sale" threads until they've been here 14 days and have 15 prior posts unless they are a Supporting Member. There's a reason for this. It doesn't offer a lot of protection, but if someone has spent the time on the forum then hopefully they aren't just here to scam people.
The forum has no responsibility for any trades initiated on this forum yet people still want the forum to address trade issues. We will ban anyone that is caught scamming another member - but this protects other members, not the one that got scammed.
It seems some members have chosen to purchase items or trade with new members who don't meet this criteria. THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED. I can't tell you how much this is NOT recommended - I GUARANTEE YOU THAT YOU WILL BE RIPPED OFF. DON'T DO IT.
If someone with a couple of posts PM's you an offer too good to be true - DON'T BELIEVE IT. Even if it seems equitable - DON'T DO IT.
