if only todays world was built on trust

[FactsOfLife]

The world IS built on trust. Unfortunately there are plenty of unscrupuloous dirtbags out there salivating to take advantage of it.

Online is fairly safe. Be alert. Take notes. Get names and phone numbers. Use the phone number for a reverse lookup to verify the name. Use Coffey's third party service. Use paypal. If you are conducting a transaction over ICQ or AIM, capture the session and PRINT IT. Here's a big one and not overly used I think, ask the buy/seller for REFERENCES. If there's one shred of doubt, DON'T DO THE DEAL.

Oh and Vegeta, get my whole quote man!


Linux was that peanuts character who used to carry the blue blanket around to protect himself from the bad guys.

Coffey, aren't you only like 13 or so? Not flaming but I couldn't trust a 13 year old and all with my stuff and the stuff im trading for.

Let me tell you about coffey.

I had my nicely worked over impy going to Nutz for his E-Mag.

Between the two markers we had enough invested to buy a third world country. To say that I was a bit nervous is an understatement. I didn't know coffey from a hole in the ground.

Coffey handled himself so well, and with such professionalism, that I thought he was an adult. I was fairly stunned when he told me his age.

I just shipped the E-Mag back through him for another trade. I use him exclusively.


His demeanor and maturity far surpass most of the adults I see on here. They could take a lesson.

I read it wrong, not only am I trustworthy but I'm an idiot.

Factsoflife, I STILL, if EVERYONE on this forum said he was trustworthy, would not deal with him third party trading. Sorry Coffey, if you are mature as Facts thinks you are you will understand.

then by your reasoning, I would expect that you won't trade with ANYONE on these forums.
