I'm hoping i didn't just make my first newb mistake, thought i was helping a seller and did a transaction via forums, does anyone know or have been contacted by thecloser29? not passing any judgement yet, his name wasn't on scam list? feeling stupid :(

I do not know thecloser29. If you made a transaction outside of escrow then it's likely that you've made your first noob mistake. Trading on the forum is very rarely a good idea, although there have been successful transactions. However they're very unique as someone will front their product to a well respected member of the community who will pay upon receiving the goods. Even that poses risks as there have been a few very high profile vendors who have simply picked up and left. What I'm trying to say is *always* deal in escrow unless you've developed trust with a vendor, and even then be very careful.

I think its going to be OK and still think hes legit its just adds allot more paranoia to a already sometimes shaky situation, he got back to me and our time difference was what was throwing me off. Like the idea of establishing a good buyer seller relationship, want this to work! have only been good experiences so far except expensive! here is the dilemma, my drug of choice is benzos, so i need them to be chill on orders like these:) I'll update when i receive and give good rating if it works out, it hasn't been long at all yet.
but lesson learned, Escrow only from here out...long live SR........Thank you Madam!
