[quote name='mike.m']Not to add on to the derail, but I don't think its unreasonable to ask someone to send money first if they are paying for it. Its just as much a risk for the seller to send a game for nothing as it is for a buyer to pay for a game and get ripped off.[/quote]
That was my initial thought, but what they mean is if a buyer has plenty of reputation compared to the seller who isn't yet "reputable" it would make sense to ship out first, even if some people are really trustworthy, you don't really know until you see their rep, but then again everyone starts at nothing
