here. 

What has most amazed me about the 50 odd buy and/or sell
transactions I've done - the folks have proved to be most honest
and respectable. In two transactions which I felt slightly
mislead. The sellers sent me checks, in an agreed amount, in a
timely manner to compensate my displeasure. They certainly did
not have to - the deal was done - they had my money - and I had
the gear. In one case that I sold a strobe head. I did the same
with the buyer - made her happy. The flaw she spotted slipped by
my notice. It would appear that at least a good number of folks
using the venue for professional gear are professional and wish
to do the right thing. One fellow in New Zealand actually sent me
a 20" panoramic color print (shot with a Seitz Roundshot
producing a 35mm neg 5" long) packed in the box with the gear I
purchased. I've also carried on some very interesting eMail
exchanges with photographers doing interesting, exotic and
wonderful work as a result of the auction venue - people I'd
never known about.
