Buying from a forum


Hy guys, i'm looking at buying a new land board (air deck g2a) from a uk based kite forum.

It's my first perchase from a forum, can someone tell me how it's done usually, nothing is to basic, from payment, to what to do if the item doesn't fit the description etc.

Thanks !
Tim

If buying from a forum the rules are whatever the seller and buyer agree to and most terms are usually set by the seller. Find out as much info as you can up front (get pics). On this forum we have a "good sellers" listing. On other forums I would say someone who has a high post count has been around a while and likely won't risk their reputation on a bad sale.



Depower Quiver: 14m Gin Eskimo, 10m Gin Eskimo III, 6m Gin Yeti, 4.5m Gin Yeti (custom bridle and mixer)
Fixed Bridle Quiver: MAC Bego 400, JOJO ET Instinct 2.5 & 5.5, Lil Devil 1.5, Sting 1.2
Rides: Ground Industries

I'd like to see a few boxes below ticked before I buy.

1, Have a look at his post count, one post ain't good a sign.

2, A they a regular poster

3, Has anyone in their thread recommended them

4, Is it too good to be true, eg, price.

If none of the above then visit the guy in person and test the equipment you're buying.

(Sorry, I didn't mean to post it in this section)

Thanks for your help. The seller only has 20 odd posts, but I think i'm going to go for it anyway. She sent me several pics, and it all looks good. Price is good, not rock bottom though, and she was willing to have viewings.

I guess there is always a certain degree of risk.. We'll see :)

pay via paypal and get a full name and address. sounds simple but youd be suprised at how many people only know a forum name.!!
