Hey everyone,
Just a random question out of curiosity - Has anyone ever purchased something through BitcoinTalk and successfully received the goods?
I know there is a marketplace section but seems like there are scam accounts all over there. Newbie accounts with one post etc.
Interested to hear the responses!

If you mean the digital goods & currency exchange section then 70% of sellers there is a scam especially those newbie accounts that selling goods at a very cheap price. I purchased many items in the marketplace section of the forum specifically on the collectible section. The rest of the marketplace is a gray area that's why you need to check the trust history of the seller always before you buy anything here.

I have already purchased a number of stuff here. So far, there is not a single transaction that ended up disappointing. But to make sure everything goes smooth, do not easily trust members who have very low ranks as well as those who have valid negative trading trusts. As much as possible, especially when dealing with low rank members, use a reputable escrow. That is always the best way to do trading here.

Many who try buying from members on this forum ends up screaming scam and later have no choice but to tag such account with red tags, becareful Because they never do background check before purchasing the product here. It's the buyer fault too in my opinion. Bitcoin has no refund feature so you must deal with extreme caution to anyone that offering goods here. I saw some account here that have few positive feedback that turns into scam so how much more for user that doesn't have any feedback or some random accounts that newly created.

Hello OGEOS, Yes ! I have purchased and sold loads of items through Bitcointalk. You pointed it out : if it screams "SCAM", then it probably is one. Except if they just start, why do some "sellers" have newbie accounts with one post ? Probably because they will get marked as scammer at some point. Review the user's trust feedbacks and trust your guts and your judgement. (Make sure to check the "Untrusted feedbacks" on people trust page but keep in mind any user can leave untrusted feedbacks, they are not always relevant and prone to abuse) Then when you wish to engage in a transaction with another user, you should use escrow. (You send the money for the goods to a trusted 3rd party, the seller sends you the goods and once you got them, the escrow releases the money to seller) There are lists of trusted escrows on this forum : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2439910.0 ; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5047302.0Be careful and use caution. If you get scammed on Bitcointalk, then it's very likely that your money is lost so ... watch out.

Since there are no sellers from my country as far as I'm aware, a no for physical products.
And for digital, none since traffic's scarce on the Digital marketplace.

Like anywhere else, in any market, there are many scammers but there are many honest sellers. Just DYOR. The problem here, when paying with bitcoin and you get scammed, is that it is almost impossible to get your money back or to know the real identity of the scammer. Just follow yogg's instructions and you will be fine.

I've made a few small purchases of Bitcoin through the forum, and they have all been fast and problem free. I've also tried to sell crypto domain names, but had no success. My Bitcoin purchases were from Legendaries that I have come to know and trust through interaction in the forum

I have purchased a decent amount of digital goods and also vouched for a bunch. With new sellers I always try to help them understand that them going first is almost a given since trust in this community means a lot when it comes to buying/selling. Also, using escrow is always welcome.

Just use an escrow if you don't feel comfortable dealing with someone or even better use an escrow every time no matter who the other person is. The small fee that you will pay to the escrow agent is worth the sense of security you will have. If the other party isn't willing to use an escrow ask him to go first. If he refuses that as well forget about it and move on to something else.

I sold some NES games a few years ago to a member on the forum, and the deal went smoothly. Shortly after I registered I started a thread in the Goods section trying to sell some of the same games (I think), but I got no hits. I was just getting into bitcoin at the time and I'm not even sure if I'd ever owned any at that point. I quickly realized that members here would much rather hold onto their bitcoin than spend it on some used video games--and I think that's still true, even though I don't often visit the sales sections here anymore. It's hard to sell things here unless they're bitcoin-related. And yeah, there are tons of scammers in the digital goods section. Probably it's much easier to scam with non-physical goods than it is with physical ones. But there's a lot of sales going on in the Collectibles section, and I don't often see scams happening there. Just use an escrow if you don't feel comfortable dealing with someone or even better use an escrow every time no matter who the other person is.
Yeah, when I sold those games the other member would have been right to insist on an escrow, but he trusted me enough to send bitcoin to me first--I guess because at that point I'd been on the forum for a while and had interacted with him a few times. Escrow is definitely a good idea, but it's a pain in the ass when you're dealing with physical goods. It's the same reason why those things aren't used as collateral for loans.

I already did buy a watch and it was from a well-trusted forum user from Croatia if I remember and so far even without escrow the transaction was successful and the seller always keep in contact if I ask him about the courier tracking. You can see my profile trust for more information of who I am talking to here.
But always keep in mind that even if the account he used is a green trusted it doesn't mean that he is so if you have doubts about the user it is really for best to use a trusted escrow.

Many who try buying from members on this forum ends up screaming scam and later have no choice but to tag such account with red tags, becareful Personally I have purchased a lot of things on this forum and everything went ok everytime. There are a lot of amazing people on this forum, for example Minerjones and condoras are my favourite ones because they helped me a lot of times and I bought items via them. There is no trust from you or another person? Then use escrow service, see this topic for example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5047302.0In overall there are a lot of things purchased through bitcointalk, especially physical coins.

I bought banknotes and collectibles coins from a numismatist here. He sent all to me by mail and I received it a week later, as he is not from the same country. I was very happy because it's not that easy to find someone selling them here. One coin is rare ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Other than that, besides a GC I bought recently, I mainly trade currencies with other dudes. Like IRL, use your head to choose to who you deal with
