    What would you say the ratio of scams to legitimate deals are in the "buy,sale, and trade" forums? I'm wondering because I'm starting to do more business there and I'll admit that I don't trust most users, especially if they don't have many posts or long membership.

    You never hear about the legitimate deals that go well but you can be sure they far out number the scams..

    I honestly don't believe that it's 90% honest - 10% scams. I've been browsing through many of the threads and I see many posts that are obviously just scammers at work. The scammers posts seem to out weigh the honest ones.

    it's weird

    people always try to avoid dealing with people that has low itrade

    so low itrade users (like me) have to buy from other low itrade users before we gather a significant amount of itrade.

    -

    i totally got scammed 25 bucks off a rapidshare account. sigh, the other guy had 3 itrade and i checked those trades and they were traded with someone else that has only 3-5 itrades
