Are you in the Darkside Cabal of Trust?

A number of us buy/sell/trade coins from time to time with other members. Those who've been here a long time oftentimes send the coins before payment is received (or at least before the checks clear).

I've only been ripped off once, and it was because I trusted a newbie who disappeared right after receiving my coins.

Do you belong to the DCT?

  • I almost always send the coin before payment. Tho I can't send it as fast as they send a Paypal payment.image

    Hey Rob, you see this? image

















    I must admit, the last coin I bought from Rob was mailed very quickly but took 10 days to get here.

  • Not overly active in the buying/selling segment around here, but have done many deals over the last few years, mostly with the same 4-5 sellers. I think most of them trust me enough to send prior to payment, although PayPal usually gets to them faster than they can get to the Post Office.

    To be honest I really don't know. I have had but a few exchanges in the swaps.

    I hope so image

    But like Kuhli, I just haven't been very active in buying (and nonexistant in selling!) here. I usually blow my budget on ebay before I catch wind of the goodies here imageimage

    I'm pretty sure JamminJ has sent me stuff before I've actually clicked on paypal image. As a buyer I trust the Darkside people (or their recommendations), and I prefer their auctions on ebay. Maybe someone can make one of those trademark thingies saying Darkside Approved. Or use Darkside as a keyword for searching auctions.

    Come to think of it, I have not sold a coin on the darkside... I guess I have failed here...

    I mailed his last coin within eight hours. Then the U.S. Snail took their sweet time.

    Huh. I wish. A lot of minivans have 4-cylinder engines. Lord Marco's van is a big ol' Dodge conversion with an 8-cylinder. Methinks a minivan would be much friendlier at the gas pump these days.

  • I know members here have sent me stuff before my check cleared. By the same token, I always send payment immediately. The Dark is actually a very comfortable place to be. Not scary at all.

    I'd like to think so but I usually only trade with those of my ilk. image
