[size=large]"Is it safe?"[/size]
Seriously, I've been thinking about buying a CD-player/transport used from Audiogon instead of new, but have never bought or sold there before.
I use eBay from time to time, and if Audiogon is similar then I'm guessing it has it's share of dodgy sellers and scams to watch out for.
So how would you feel about buying an expensive item like a 1K+ source from Audiogon?
What kinds of checks can one make to verify that the seller is 'legit'?
Thanks for any input you can offer me.
