All of my transactions have gone very well on A'gon.
However, i just check for stuff for sale within a 2 hour drive of my home.
I'm not much for shipping, i hear alot of horro stories, and while alot of the transactions with shipping go wwell, with my luck my box would arrive all but destroyed.
If you meet the person face to face they are less likley to try and rip you off, or if the deal is a scam in the first place they will probably back down and not run the deal.
Alot of these scam artists out there are long distance hounds who like to deal with people across the country, opposed to somone who lives in thier area and would work em up real good with a tire-iron in the safeway parking lot if they just happened to run across them again after getting scammed.
Not to mention if you buy it off the person in person, you fully see the condition of the unit and might be able to give it a quick ops check before any money gets exchanged.
