members with no feedback?

How do you handle a transaction with members that have no feedback history do you walk away and look somewhere else or?

Someone with an Audiogon rating of 300 is not more trustworthy than a person who has no feedback because they have neither bought nor sold anything here? I did not say anything in my post about anyone with any Audiogon rating not being trustworthy.Please don't twist my words. It is earned, not assumed. I did not say trust should be assumed.You are the one that is assuming trust with your statement above. I remember my first transaction and I was nervous that the seller wouldn't sell to me because of it. So I was extra nice and communicative to make sure it went well. That's what first time buyers and sellers should do-establish trust. I totally agree and this was exactly how all transactions should occur.
