Do your due diligence, Just follow the law and I don't see an issue. If you come across something dodgy report it to the cops. @Spanners

We have police as members.

Yes but in addition to that.

Every bit of the gear I've bought off here has, thank goodness, been kosher.
Have sold stuff here and never had a problem with payment.
Often send goods before funds are in my account.
The reality is - every one I've dealt with here on this site - is a bloody good bloke.
Anyone stuffing me around - everyone here would know about the 'im'poster!
The reason I like to buy/sell gear on here - see comment above.

To add my 2c, I signed up solely to use the buy/sell area. I've since figured out you blokes (and blokettes) aren't too bad so I'm sticking around.

Locking it to people under a specific post count would be fine, but I think hiding it completely would mean you'd miss out on catching some potential regulars.

By the sounds of it putting a post limit on people before they can sell stuff would give people a false sense of validity as to the character of members. Just because they are a member on here does not mean they have a licence or that they are of good character. Yes there are good people on here but you need to abide by the law as you would with any other private firearms sale.

There was a guyrecently selling a tent, thought it would suit hunters from what I heard it was a genuine sale
