Buyers beware of John Geitz Jr.

I've posted this before, but I'll do it again.

These buyer beware posts get quickly buried, and the bad poeple continue to take advantage of the good.

This site is big enough that it needs a special area where buyers can post feedback for sellers. That way, any potential buyers can look up someone that they are thinking about buying from.

On this subjerct, what is the safest way to buy from someone you dont know?

I have been planning on buying some rather expensive (to me) items from several members on the board, but I dont know them. They seem very nice, but then again, this Geitz guy was easy to deal with until the money changed hands. I certainly dont mean to offend anyone, but hardly any of us know each other personally.
