Bows for New Traders
zeNBowyer:
For the people who feel comfortable posting their personal information on the internet that's fine, I recently however had the experience of some users on another bow forum who decided to play dirty pool and post all kinds of personal information on channel maliciously while moderators sat back and watched,
if I am trading or doing business with someone then they will by neccessity be privy to my personal information during the transaction, if someone wants they can always ask for references, plus if you are simply buying it is customary to withold shipment until payment is received, no more guarantee is needed in such case,
if you want to make your info public fine, but it is only prudent today to consider that choice wisely, and you shouldn't have shadows cast on you because of your privacy choices

Guys, this is all good information. I too am not to quick to put out too much personal info. I would tend to get that out of the way in private emails. I have read constantly about bows for about six months and have learned a lot, but I am still not a knowledgable bow guru. And I do admit to buying an osage self bow and figured you just strung and shoot. I was lucky, it shot well right out of the tube. But, if it didn't I would have been at a loss. I think both have points to learn from. We are a trusting lot and all need to work with each other to avoid such problems. Happy trading>

As a newbie i know i certainly wouldn't be offend if the seller asked for a Down payment or some collateral peice. as a buyer i wold be a little hesitant of a seller asking for Full payment before i saw anything as this tranaction is a two way street, i dont want to send off 200 dollars and never see any thing returned in the mail.
