I've got a question which I think fits in here...

With all the hardware I see for sale on the net, how do people handle the
transactions?  I mean, how do both parties safeguard themselves so that the
buyer doesn't get ripped off by buying faulty equipment with no guarantee, and
the seller doesn't send off the equipment and never receive any money?

I realize, of course, that if both sides are completely honest and trusting,
then this is a simple matter.  Unfortunately, that's not the way most of the
world works...
