Agreed.

To put a positive spin on things, I've picked up great used gear in 
the last couple weeks from various sources on the net. 
Harmony-central classifieds are another good place to look. No 
feedback mechanism there, but I ask a lot of questions first, and if 
there are ANY signs of flakiness, I bolt. Here's my problem, though. 
I tend to assume the best about people and their motives. Like none 
of you here would rip me off, for instance! I know I'm 
right...right?? :)
