Are you a risk taker?

Do you usually take risks in life or you like to keep yourself in the safe side?

Take for example that you are in need of some money and you are selling one of your websites which makes some money and the auction winner has low itrader who maybe new to the forum.

Would you take the risk to sell it to him ?

 

I would probably ask for the money up front and wait for it to transfer to succeed. Then send the site.

But me personally, I take many risks. It's my natural being.

 

Yes, I'm a person who likes to take risky deals in case if they are worth it ! Though, I will not buy a car for 2000$ if I need to pay upfront via PayPal

 

If its a small site and the guy looks trustable then I'd go along with it.

When you have lots of experience in this you are able to recognize scammers almost immediately

 

even i will do risk trades ...if it worth...

 

Yes some time to the extent.
I believe in business one must take some calculated risk. (My personal view)

 

Yes,some times i will take risk if i need money!
No risk,No fun!

 

although i usually prefer to "play it safe", risks are obvious when it comes to making money.

 

yeah i think i am...

 

I would have to say I'm a risk taker. No risk, no real reward. Besides, playing it safe is how a large percentage of the American population never achieve the dreams and success they desire for one reason or another.

 

I love taking risks but not in the case of this selling stuff on DP. I mostly do trade with people having good itraders if its a big amount of money.

 

I'm not a risk taker, I don't like surprises.

 

I would leverage my risk down by using escrow.com

;p

 

Depends on what kind of risk, I'd say no to your scenario but if the risk will possibly make your life better, then yes I will go for it . After the right observations are made of course......

 

Whole point of my job is to evaluate risk, and take some.

 

I take business risks and money risks, but at the same time i have my precautions that i take. I just dont throw away money.

 

I would do the risk, Life is all about risks. People who live it safe, don't know how to live.

 

I often don't take risks. I usually find the advantages and disadvantages then choose.

 

My mind says no, but my actions say otherwise.

 

Taking chances with your money just for the excitement doesn't make you a risk taker, it makes you a gambler. A risk taker takes chances when the payout might be great and the odds are good, not when the risk is great and the odds are low to pay some debts and get poorer in the process. He calculates his chances.

For example, a poor person buying a lottery ticket isn't a risk taker, he's just a fool because the odds are next to nothing and he's just throwing good money after bad. But someone investing in a promising new business with a sound business model with his savings is a risk taker because he actually stands a good chance of winning.

A risk taker is not an idiot gambler!
