Just chiming in my views here. I don’t comment a great deal (54 so some way off 100 given I’ve been a member since July '14 ) and I think I’ve only sold a PO-12 way back on here but wonder whether 100 limit is a bit overkill. I’ve bought a couple of things on here though and being able to check visit count, length of time on the site as well as what people have posted has always felt a good way of checking someone out even before I’ve even entered into discussion.
The problem with a 100 post count is that there just isn’t enough content to comment on, and this board averages maybe 6-10 new posts a day. Would be alright if we wanted to wait a year or 2 for the trade community to build up though.
I bought an OP-1 from a user with only 9 posts two years ago. He sent me links to his discogs and ebay accounts and made the transaction through PayPal. Everything went great. Not to mention it’s the cheapest deal I’ve ever seen ($606 USD).
I feel bad for the dude that got ripped with an OP-Z, but in these kind of deals you really need to protect yourself. PayPal has a strong policy on scams so if anything goes wrong your money is safe.
