ummm no do all deals by pm, unless you know them , if they will not use the pm system then you don't need to trust them , look at the men who have posted in this thread not 1 neg and plenty of deals , DO IT THROUGH PM . Then neg there ass if they mess up ,.

Not the case...they are both still posted here.

I didn't think this was a "bid site" I hoped it was a place of integrity and commitment when you make a deal

There's a lot of really good folks here... but there will always be a few bad apples in the bunch !

Just look at the Good Will Forum Section ... you will see a whole lotta good going on !

It's reasonable for the ODT to want a pm trail to make a neg stick. If someone doesn't want to work through pm that's just a risk you take.

Personally, I look at people's feedback to see if I get a warm and fuzzy before going 'off record'.

Don't get discouraged by a couple of idiots. This is a great place with mostly great folks. Stick to Private Messages to conduct business as far as price, meeting place and meeting time/date.

You can make a deal through texts, but always, put the deal, in its completed form, agreed on price, accessories, time and place of meet, through PM. I always do this. If the buyer/seller, will not response to my PM, in its completed form, we don't have a deal and I stop wasting my time. The feedback system works if you do your part. I would not leave the site because of a couple of jerks. If that were the case, I would have left long ago! lol

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I have had two guys in a row agree to meet me and settle on a price and then cancel last minute. I am a good communicator and always agree to meet in public in a safe area. I have dealt with online deals for a long time, but man....... it's like i gotta twist someones arm to take my money. I have taken off work early, made sure my kids are taken care of for dinner in expectation I am going to meet someone and then I get cancelled. I met one guy on here and had a great transaction and he was very helpful, but I am starting to loose interest in the site. I always agree to drive at least half way. The first guy I met explained that if we agree to meet and I am interested its like having a done deal......not for these last two guys. Thanks in advance.

Not the case...they are both still posted here.
