I always check how long the other party has been a member of AudioGon, check their feedback, and whether they have been active in any threads. This will give you a good idea of the other parties intent and integrity. If you are a new member, someone will need to take a gamble on you. Even if you are honest and have impeccable integrity, I would trust a longtime member with perfect feedback before dealing with you, not to say I wouldn't. I would always want to talk with a person with little or no feedback to establish a comfort zone or break off a deal.
