With over 2000 registered members it is more important than ever to be as safe as possible in doing business on the BST. I always give recommendations or opinions when asked. If you don't know, ask me. If I don't know, then kindly ask the other person for a few references...and check them out. The BST is still a heck of a lot safer than ebay but there is some risk in dealing with members, especially ones that aren't well known. It is always caveat emptor. All I really have is contact info that folks registered with, and while I am happy to give that out in these situations, as we can see, it's not always a solution. Also, these are legal transactions so regular laws do apply....though if they are out of state the cost of finding someone and prosecuting could outweigh the benefit. I have done a lot of stuff with Cy (hey Cy) and all transactions have been flawless. I hope this situation turns out ok...Be careful folks.....best regards
