Once you get to know people a little better you'll find you can usually tell who's genuine and who's not.
For people chasing up a particular member in regards to items for sale etc., best course of action is to send them a PM and just ask where they're up to (be nice), and go from there. Dont go badmouthing on the forums because there may be a perfectly legit explanation for the delay.

As with buying anything via Internet though, use your discretion and make sure you know the facts about what it is you're buying. Most buyers and sellers are honest people but as we all know it only takes one bad egg to throw a spanner in the works and potentially lose you money.

Just bought a indicator stalk/unit/wiper stalk thing off 1TUFEA, and it arrived today, after 3 days. Quick and no fuss.

Well ... haven't had the opportunity to buy and sell on here yet ... but i have had great dealings on other forums in the US (Mitsubishi forums) ... used to sell a ton of parts to people over there who wanted our oarts out here.

Have had good dealings on the FordMods site as well ... can't say I have problems at all really.
