Hey guys - I'm posting this here because I'm wanting your feedback on activity that's going on over in the classifieds section. In the last four days I've had three out-of-state or out-of-country 914world members reach out to me about my for sale ad. All four have zero posting activity and three of them appeared to have signed up in just the last week.

All that to say this - what's your recommendation regarding interested buyers who are brand new members with no activity in our forums? Obviously I'm not handing out my paypal account or dealing with the prince of Kenya who is about to inherit a large some of money.

Appreciate the feedback.
