   Although I've not been using THIS net for quite a month yet, I have
both bought and sold a few items through other national IBM PC nets.
I've not had any problems buying items (all under $60, so we're not
talking any major risks involved), and was able to find BIG bargains
(that's why I was looking there in the first place).  I sold there
again because of convenience -- how else can you reach so many people,
all interested in what you're selling (your audience is restricted to
folks looking to buy computer "stuff")?  In general, I've been very
happy with this whole concept.
   However, I too have seen occasional messages in the "Hey, you bum;
you cashed my check, but didn't send me my stuff!" catagory.  When
purchasing, I always phone the seller first, to talk to them "face-to-
face".
