banned members

is it a good idea to deal with banned members of this board without knowing exactly why they're banned? can banned members be trusted?

thanks.

Bassethounds shouldn't be dealt with!

Saying that I'm sure I wouldn't.

Banning isn't exactly random, most members receive warnings? And can't you back down then, it tells you something about your character.

Is it a hypothetical question, or do you have a deal working elsewhere with a seller who got banned here?

In addition to the other advice consider that each deal stands on its own. The item may or may not meet your expectations.

I'm not so sure mods can reveal reasons - but if you do get info it is only as good as that moment in time when that issue happened.

Good luck - but my advice is to choose a deal from a trusted seller here.

It's like a Casino game. I'm assuming u r buying/selling. If you r buying from X bc of a better price you have to ask yourself : is it worth the x amount I'm saving vs the possibility of buying a replica or not getting the watch at all. Say on a Sub: $500 savings compared to a trusted seller's price or paying X $5000 and not getting a real watch. You can workout the scenario if you are selling, right?
