So I'm looking for solid intell on how to trade gear safely.
Trading is between 2 parties- no one can guarantee that the other will be ethical, reliable, honest, etc. Best we can do is to increase our trust by looking at their past performance and maybe dialog, still nothing is guaranteed.
I’ve thought about using TMR to eliminate selling to an uncertain 3rd party, but it comes with TMR fees/cost - nothing is free - people expect to be paid for their services
