I put a listing in the wanted section of the marketplace at the weekend as I wanted to trade a bass for a guitar and got a response from Tom1946 not long after. Suffice to say we did the deal and both bass and guitar arrived safely today. I mentioned to a colleague in work what we had done and he couldn't believe that people would just post items of value to people they don't really know. Having dealt with Tom before, as I'm sure many other basschatters have, I had no qualms in just posting the bass on the back of a couple of messages and hope Tom felt the same way. I just thought it was worth mentioning that it is absolutely amazing, especially in this day and age, to have a forum in which people are willing to put this much trust in each other and where you can deal with people in a fair and honest manner. Long may it last !
