That is a good thing to look for generally, but it is not something for you to crusade against. Yeah, a person with only 1 post count is suspect. It took me quite a while to get to 100 posts, you kinda have to WANT to be here to get those first 100. I almost created an acount of at anandtech just because fo the huge flow of parts they have for sale over there.

That said, I wouldn't feel wrong at all if I were to try to sell something on here. I can also point to another forum where I have 6 (soon to be 8 or 9) positive transactions already in combination with my "big time" post count. I also don't see where it could be a problem for me to buy anything, either, from anybody.

Do you have to be a bit more careful with somebody who has a "lower" post count? Yeah, to an extent. But when dealing with Paypal, shipping confirmation, shipping tracking, and the like it's relatively safe. There is ALWAYS the possibility of something bad going down in an internet transaction.

<I edited my post to hopefully lighten it up a bit. At first things came out a bit "harsh", which I did not want it to be. >
