For those posting a WTB thread: CAVEAT EMPTOR

Be vigilant with people responding with an email address, potentially supposedly from another user of Prime with a long history on prime, for you to correspond with directly. It may be an impersonator or scammer who doesn't even have the parts.

It goes without saying that you should request pictures, preferably showing a post-it with the username and date, as pictures are easy to find. Also do a search for the pictures on-line in case the scammer is copying.

Be especially vigilant for postings from users with low post counts and/or recent join dates, and payment methods that cannot be appealed (Western Union, etc.) and are difficult to track.
