This is all true but rats do get in under the door sometimes so it is always on each member to protect themselves, caveat emptor. When trading look at folks number of posts, time on the forum, and look at their individual posts.....ask them for references if they haven't been here long. If they give you flack for asking, PM me or another moderator...and they won't anymore or they won't be here.
I, and the other mods, know quite a few folks and it is ALWAYS good to PM me/them if you have any reservations about a member. Overall, I/we have to get involved in less than 1 deal a month, not bad for what goes on over there. It is a safe place overall but you still need to be careful. I have personally done a ton of deals over there and know the BST is the busiest part of the board.

To answer your question, if you want to sell something, post it! Members are vetted here by the owner Leon and he has contact information for them, so if things go ugly, you at least have some sort of recourse. But, it IS "caveat emptor" so act accordingly.
As far as trades go,make a post and then work out the details with the other party and you can always make a post about how good a seller/buyer/trader person XYZ is.
If you have any questions, you can always search the potential other party's old posts and find their buy/sell history and contact who they made a deal with via PM.
I have made 4 or 5 deals on here over the past 6 months and I can say that the folks here are generally very cool and easy to work with. If there is gonna be a delay with payment or shipping, keep them in the loop and they are understanding!
hope this helps!
