    do a 3rd party if you don't feel right about it.
    who ever said "its not whether you win or lose..." probably lost.

        feedback sucks.

        ive been asked on 2-3 accounts to fake pbn feedback.


        of course morals are more important to me

        i would only trust ebay feedback, and a few people i know are trustable on here


        plus look at his feedback:
        1. its idiotic
        2. no noting of any SPECIFIC product


        im not saying he might scam you or anything, but the best advice i was ever given was that if you even QUESTION it, dont bother. If its too good to be true, it usually is.

        if your questioning his credibility, its not worth loosing what you have


        3rd party isnt totally safe either

        i wonder if Tuna would do 3rd party

          I would either ask for him to ship first or do a 3rd party. If you end up shipping first, MAKE SURE you have a legit home phone number that matches up to the adress that you are sending it to, and CALL him and TALK to him on that number, to prove that its his. Try to get as much information as you can. That way if he tries to screw you over, you can screw him back harder.

            paypal helps too if you pay using it, and insure yourself. my dad got ripped off on a pc tablet and used paypal to pay. he got his money back 100%

            but its not guarenteed either

              he did say if i wanted to use a 3rd party thats fine but id have to pay

              Eltrut Repus: if you still dont trust sending first
              Eltrut Repus: go for a 3rd party


              and later he said

              Eltrut Repus: best i can do is give you my contact numbers and you can call to make sure everything is good
              Eltrut Repus: that way u know im giving u good information

                  not sure if Tuna does third party, but if he does...use him!

                  otherwise...find a third party service. i think a couple guys here on AO do them. if you want a solo guy to handle it, i can recommend a few who would be trustworthy and might do it--pretty cheap

                    How much are you wanting for the marker? I am just curious because I have been wanting a rt for a long time. If he seems to waiver, I would be interested in buying it. Or trading for it. just a offer...
