:Q-and those are?

 

[MrYogi]

checking heatware, checking if the email address is right, getting the phone number and address from the person, are some of them.

 

[MustISO]

Common sense is most important. Always check heatware and other refs first.

 

[MrYogi]

yeah, checking the traders to avoid list is very important.

Be wary of trolls.

that is the first thing you need to do if you want to be sure that you are dealing with the same person who has 93+ heatware.

Is he/she a senior member at AT?

CT2TXtech, an all-to-common problem in the for sale/for trade forums of most boards like Anandtech is that some "people" (trolls) like to use other people's Heatware as their own. This tends to lull the buyer into a false sense of security. At ths point it is a LOT easier to get you to send payment. If you email the person with the 93 positive heat AND the same guy responds, you should be OK. If a guy responds that has no idea what you are talking about then thats no good. Good luck ...

you seem overly worried about this. with almost 100 postitive heatware evals and not negatives, i really doubt you have much to worry about.

There has been traders with better heat evaluations who have gone to the darkside.
