LOL, if you don't trust me then don't deal with me. I posted real pics when I had this ad up that nobody was interested in last month.
What can I say? I've posted my terms. Not going to spend all this time posting here to rip someone off for $50. I'm not even anonymous (see website link in my sig). I've already modified the normal way I've done business for 17 years in only requiring 50% payment upfront and not the full amount.

It is less about trust and more about volume. Not only does the chance of getting scammed increase with the number of trades you do, people work very hard to build good reputations so that they can do things to mitigate their own risk such as asking for goods to be shipped first. This payment system is far too dependent on reputation to ask for payment of anything of moderate value upfront without a decent trade history. Not saying it never happens but it makes most users uncomfortable. Those with the least rep pay first, that's just how it works here most of the time. As some one who has worked hard for my good reputation I find it to be a very effective system for buyers as well as sellers.
