Buying second hand on classifieds

I have had good luck buying and selling on this site, although I don’t have the guts to make a major purchase sight unseen from someone I don’t know. It seems like there is a post every couple weeks about someone who got scammed trying to get a good deal on high end optics.

Ive never bought anything off this site,but have on HuntWA with no problems. There are scammers on every site though, ask questions.
 
Is there a review system or any helpful indicators to show how likely a person is a more trustworthy seller on here?

There is - click on their profile name, and it'll pop up. Click their name again to go to their full page. The dark blue bar at the bottom of their profile header - far right of that is a link for "Feedback Stats". Click on that, and you can see the reviews people have done of them.

Thank you for the quick response.
Only weird thing and it is probably just me, but I don’t see a blue bar and I clicked on quite a few random profiles just to see. If I scroll way down I can see stats but nothing for “feedback stats” I’m on an iPhone so maybe it’s a little different?
 
Maybe...I'd ask if you were logged in, but you must be if you're posting messages here. Don't know what's going on.
I’ll check in a week and see if anything changes. Just happy I wasn’t being dumb lol. Thanks though it seemed like a pretty rudimentary thing to ask about but I definitely am having an issue.
 
Says “oops ran into problems” and when I click the link it says I don’t have access.
Welcome to Rokslide. I know that to participate in the classifieds you'll need to have been around for a week and have 10 posts. Maybe that's true for viewing what you're trying to access too. There is lot to see and absorb here, try again after a while and it will probably work by then.

That was my guess as well. Not to worried about it for now I’ll give it some time but I do plan on making use of the classifieds when I’m able to lol.
 
I've bought and sold on here a few times in the past few years and I have yet to have a negative experience.
If you're unsure, ask questions, ask for pictures, feel out the seller. Scammers usually have a red flag pop up somewhere.
I always send goods and services or some way that I can get my money back if it's my first interaction with someone.
Don't be afraid to move on from an item if it doesn't feel right. There will always be another good deal.
Leachguy can you direct message me i have question thanks
 
I have bought on the classifieds, haven't had any problems yet. On big $ items I prefer to put my hands on the item. Went to the Colorado crowd sourced optics get together last year, ended up buying a spotter from another member.
