I just had my first successful sale on the For Sale or Trade thread and am content with the money involved for the goods that are going out. I also got to have a great conversation with a fellow member who gave me interesting details on what his plans are, and I got to give him some history. That right there was worth the difference in what I could get on Ebay vice BF. Best $12.00 I ever spent

You've got a worldwide audience right here DD! I'd be pleased to buy an item I needed from you or from any other C&V members, in fact have done so in the past for odd bits & pieces and been very pleased with the result. When doing so I always PM to ascertain the shipping/delivery costs from seller's country to the UK, plus packing costs & arrangements and how to make the total payment. This is agreed between us in a PM or two before I commit - and I've never been disappointed. It's a more personal transaction than clicking on e-bay and relies to some extent on trust but in my experience that's pretty much a given.
