I want to remind everyone that making a payment using Paypal's 'Friends & Family' option, you will not be protected if things go wrong.
While the Mods will always try to help if we can, remember: If you choose to pay by this method (or bank/wire transfer) there's very little we can do.

Opportunists are always ready to make a quick buck on the 'sale' of a desirable piece of retro that will either never turn up or not be as described.
Paying by a non refundable method just makes it easier for them.

Always be extremely cautious of new members or those with low post counts/feedback score offering rare, sought after goods, and demanding Paypal F&F. It's almost certainly a scam. Always report anything suspicious to the Mods. We'll attempt to verify if the seller is genuine or not.

You have been warned!
