    Hey guys,

    How safe is it to buy here? Should I use a PayPal account? How Can I ensure the product is delivered once I pay? Thanks!

    Keep Hammering

    I never had any issues. Use pay pal and talk to the person on the phone. It also help to know that the person is a member and participates on the board rather then just using it when he needs to sell and item. Check feedback on other sights also, for example on Ebay and AT.
    Like any place else communication is the key.

    Probably more safe than craigslist yet less safe than the pro-shop.

    Think for most part you wouldn't have any problems. Like any site there's always that chance. From what I've seen most on here are pretty stand up guys/gals.

    Although as of right now I am 0-1 ha ha. Not really losing sleep over it though.
