@CapnD you speak amazing english for a russian spam bot. Welcome!
As for dealing with new folks. It really depends I have had some good deals with a couple brand new folks selling guns. One transaction the guy didn't' want to talk on the phone for some reason which is something I insist on if I think they may be sketchy or don't know them. I sent a quick pm to a MOD he verified best he could the guy wasn't sending messages from the Ivory Coast and let the guy know I was GTG and why I wanted to talk to him on phone. 100 miles later and I had a great deal done. As with any person new or old you should use caution. Also I would say 19% of members here you should never leave an open drink with them.
