Had good experience with :
late4lake

he answered all questions and was professional and courteous.
Product was what was advertised. No surprises.

Bassing 1 aka James Moore Jr is bad news , sold me reel in July and still not seen the reel, got paypal to get the money back for me.

i love the forum and the trading post all good people to deal with ive bought/ sold rods reels tackle done some trading and everyone is polite ,on time negotiable about payments and shipping and about fair meeting places

had a poor buy on a trolling motor,not quite what was represented but what disappointed me was the lack of a reply to see if he would adjust. three month or so ago and still waing for reply to two emails. Lesson learned is Buyer BEWARE.

thomas z71 sold me some awesome costas at a great price and very fast shipping. great communication

+1, says it all for me too! So far so good (knock on wood?)

After several buys and trades I have only had one bad experience. I bought an HDS 5 from a college student (I don't remember his name)and when I tryed to hook it up it would not work. I sent it to Lowrance with a letter about how I got the unit and they sent me a new unit for replacement. So I came out good on the deal, but it would have been nice to know that there was a problem going in.

I have had a few transactions on here, and all but one have been without a hitch. Don't remember the name of the one I had a hard time getting a Lowrance flasher from-had to get a mod to "remind" him to send it.
But I want to publicly say thank you to VettePRman-he sent me some old lizards that you can't get anymore and refused to let me pay for them. Great guy in my book!
Warrick sold me a Trion and sent the reel before he ever got the check for it. Doesn't get any better than that. Thanks Friend!
Bought a rod from leedman. Couldn't ask for anything smoother. Thanks-pleasure to have done business with you.
I know you Texas guys are a tight knit bunch and many don't like to do business through the mail so I have missed some good deals because of that. But to the others I have bought from on here-thanks, wish I still had your names. Have a blessed day-Eddie

Watch out for the "greenhorns" who join the forum to sell something.
Bought a Ranger from a guy who said "If you don't want it, I got people waiting in line". Wouldn't take it to the lake.
I ran the motor on muffs while Spanky listened to it on the phone.
Great motor, prop hub was spun. I still would have bought it with the bad hub, but he obviously hid it from me.

I have had nothing but great luck,and you guy's are dealing with a hillbilly in Michigan:)

I had my first transaction from the forum this week with deerhunter3030. Top notch guy, everything was as said and very fast shipping. Thanks

I HAVE DEALT WITH A LOT OF GUYS ON THE FORUM AND EVERY ONE OF THEM HAVE BEEN REALLY NICE GUYS. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS GETTING PAID AND HAVE MADE A LOT OF GOOD FRIENDS. I ENJOY BEING ON THE FORUM. THE THREAT OF BEING BLACKBALLED WILL KEEP MOST OF US ON THE UP AND UP. JERRY

I agree completely. Alot of great folks here on TFF. I have put myself out on a limb several times by placing orders for members with the cash out of my pocket and to find out the individuals follow through with there completing the transaction says alot about the group we have here. I am truely gratefull to be here on the forum and look for many many years of enjoyment and meeting new people.

Just had a great buying experience with ZX190 MIKE!!! He's a great guy to deal with and visit with on the phone. I paid him via paypal on Saturday for some GPS units and the postman was at my door this morning trying to deliver them. 3rd day from Arkansas to McKinney, that's the fastest I've ever received anything. Honest and Fast, what more can you ask for?
Thanks again Mike!

Bikeman struck here also. Let him "test" a 9.5 Evirude and a trolling motor for several months. Short story: when I called him after several months, he couldn't remember my name. Said the motor had been stolen off his boat months prior to my call. Have not been able to get a reply from him since.
