A thread to check the trustworthiness of members?

I'm on the fence with this one.

To be honest I think it is a little OTT for the seller to ask for full payment before viewing if you intend to pickup with cash.
I can understand a deposite to hold, but you are the one buying the firearm so it's not like you can rip them off.
I guess they may have been mucked around or are just playing hard ball to see if you are genuine.

I myself wouldn't have a problem if someone put a post up asking for their experience with me.

Unfortunately it does seam like scammers have ruined it for us newbies. Most of us have decades of experience in the outdoors hunting/fishing etc but have to wait for our L plates to be removed.
