I'm a little disappointed by how secretive some folks are when filling out their profile...What is there to hide? When I'm sending money to someone I have never met or seen, I like to feel like they have nothing to hide...I've been sneered at on other boards for this stance...In years of swap shopping Ham gear and R/C stuff I have never been cheated, and I don't want to start now..I think others would be less apt to be cheated with more info.. It is not absolute, but a good place to start...
PLEASE fill out your profile...I'll be more interested in your item/items...Thanks...Brian Smith

This gives me an idea maybe to have people who have purchased or done business with other to "rate" the user and add comments regarding the transaction much like ebay. We do not have the auction format but the user rating idea is the same in principal.
