while online trading has it's risk, it also has benefits for both the seller and buyer. sellers can get rid of used/old equipment that is lying around. buyers can purchase used equipment w/o retail store mark-up. it is a win-win situation if buyer/seller are both honest.
there are many risks involved in an online trade/purchase but if you take careful steps to protect yourself, then it can be just as safe (or just as risky) as purchasing from an online retailer, like amazon or barnes&nobles.
i have been ripped before, but i've bought/sold/traded so my crap on internet forums like this for ridiculously low prices that i will continue to do so. if you be careful and think twice...and follow some of my
tips for safer transactions. then you can reduce most of the risks.
beside you can still meet up w/ people locally and deal face-to-face. i consider this a zero risk transaction, for obvious reasons.
