I don’t know about everyone else, but my comfort level from buying anything on this site is pretty low. I know the ownership of the site has changed hands several time, but I see that as part of the problem.
Used to be that a member of the site had to post a certain number of “meaningful” posts and we got a chance to meet a few people and make friends and build trust.
That’s not the case today. Some members have gone straight to the “for sale” are of the classifieds and nothing else. It’s pretty obvious when the same members post five to ten items of the same page every day.
Not that it’s going to matter to anyone else, but I won’t be buying anything from someone who isn’t what they used to call an “established” member
