A large measure of trust and honesty is essential for good transactions via such sites as Audiogon, eBay or any other buy/sell i-net site. I agree with Jvia that you should call and talk to the seller and "get to know each other", and work out details of the transaction that are agreeable to you both. If Fed-Ex won't ship it, you may have to go with a freight company, and they can be expensive but with better handling. Cheers. and good luck. Craig
Buyer Protection.... ?
I'm looking at buying a heavy and expensive (to me!) piece of equipment.
The item looks legit, seller seems nice, but it has a price tag of over 5K. There is no feedback anywhere and I'm trying to figure out what I can do to protect myself without irritating anyone.
Neither of us has done a large amount of buying/selling online.
Any suggestions?
I'm not sure Fed Ex will ship items of this weight, for what it's worth.
