I have been selling and trading football items since, well, since Ebay first started listing items. Myself, George Diamond, Mike Pratt, way back then. Before Buzzball.
One thing that stays the same is the crooked people. So far 100%. It's not that many, just repeat offenders. To be honest I can give you a no-no list based upon many instances not just my own. But the forum prohibits that.
I do business with Chris Stacey, Mike Guttman for my teams. I give them half the money up front. Actually I would give them all the money because they put things in writing and have proven to be extremely credible. I take extra care not to let anybody screw me out of my money because when it comes to cash I am cut from a different cloth. There would be no diplomacy, no paperwork, unless I'm being booked. Got too much going for that so I ask around and check. Just that simple.
I don't claim to be a know all be all I merely offered what knowledge I have. Norbert's idea sounds fantastic but while that is being moved from talk to action, going through legal red tape, etc, someone else could be taking a swim. Not if I can help it!
