Posted by nosdeclipse, Feb-27-03 12:14 PM
i am doing a killer trade with a guy. i am trading him a brand new laptop for a brand new stage 2 star kit with fmic. we are both weary about getting screwed. is there any safe way to do this, i want to get it done as soon as possible. and ideas will be appreciated. tia

the only way thats absolutely 100% safe is to go up there and meet him

you can use an escro service... but yea, it would be best if you could meet in person.

Ditto. Exchange addresses, offer to meet each other halfway.

Photocopies of driver's licenses are also added insurance.

yeah, i had thought about meeting him but i live in pa and he lives in new mexico. i checked on a price for plane tickets and cheapest i could find is $600, out of the question. i think i will see if he will go with copies of the drivers licenses. thanks alot guys. i just don't want this deal to fall through.

Look for guys on DSM Tuners, from New Mexico..

Yeah, I was also going to say, go for a third party.
