One other thing that may help is to continue what you are already doing... jump in on threads that interest you and keep your post count rising. The 100 post minimum requirement to buy/sell on the classifieds is no longer enforced, but it is one of the factors I watch to protect myself as a consumer when I don't "know" someone from this site.
I go back and see what the person seems like and what their interest in trad archery seems to be from their past posts to get a feel for what they are "about." If they have 12 posts, and every one is about something they have listed for sale, a red flag goes up for me.
The one and only time I violated my rule of doing this, I was one of a dozen people caught up in a scam. As a group, and with assistance from Terry and Rob, many of us got our merchandise or money, but it was a painful lesson. Never again, for me.
Great to have you on the Gang! Dive in, become familiar with us and let us get to know you... and best wishes on your sale!
