A little nervous...

Post by Lake Effect Parrot Head »

I'm contemplating becoming a first time buyer from a BN'er who has been a member for 2 years - but has only one post. Should that be a flag to walk away? The only other thing that is bothersome is the seller is on the east coast and the concert is in the midwest. Does anyone have any advice?

There's a lot of BN'ers that lurk a lot, and rarely post. :) And there are even more who travel to shows all over the country. :) Nothing is a guarantee, however.

My sincere apologies to my east coast friends for questioning the intentions behind the transaction. The tickets were delivered as promised, and were great seats. I enjoyed meeting you and your family, and I hope you had a safe trip home. Would definitely purchase from you again - I just hope you would have me as a buyer! :oops:

Thank you again DE phriends.

So glad your story had a happy ending. Most of us are honest and friendly here, but it never hurts to be cautious. Have a great time!
