Looks like no one else is willing to wade into this one
I am about 2hrs North of you.
I buy and sell, and I understand your comments regarding risk. I did something silly myself yesterday, I bid and won a $300+ item from a seller with no feedback and 3 only sales that are *still in progress*. I only noticed the item when it had a couple of minutes to go and there hasnt been another of them sold in Australia before, so I didnt have time to look at the particulars. Luckily, this fella seems like a reasonable bloke and he is gonna send it COD.
We shall agree to disagree.
