Yea 6 posts and being a member since April makes me waryI'm in if you send first. You shouldn't expect anyone to send payment first though as you have no feedback.
I also offered to buy if he ships first. He said he's not "comfortable" with that. I let him know asking for unsecured payment with no posting or trade history here doesn't bode well. Recommend Paypal for buyer protection for whoever pursues this.
