I don't have many (if any) exciting TM stories
I do like reading Q and A and finding negative feedback arguements
Some of it is comedy

TM should have a filter so you can zoom straight in on the Negative Trades

So italian69 has blacklisted me because I asked a question on his Tony Iommi Laney that Danny rightfully won. Didn’t answer me, absolute cock

Avoid this trader: pedbhoy

Offered me cash + pedals for an item stating that that was all he could afford. I said no, and he would miraculously come up with better cash and pedal offers, then back out at the last minute before meeting. He literally backed out a few times, then I read his feedback - doh. Dodgy as. I don't know why I even bothered.

Blacklist and don't look back.

My three burner accounts are all mentioned, but not my main, thankfully!

Unlikely that I can afford guitars older than me. Not playable ones worth buying anyway...

Just had a zero feedback buy now that wants to pay by bank transfer in front of me.

I’ve asked to take a pic of drivers licence.

Anything else to look out for, or am I being too suspicious?

I wouldn't . Saw a news article a couple years ago where scammers could cancel the transaction after the fact before it clears. Not sure if it's a loophole that still exists, but I'd take cash thanks very much

Insist on cash. Don't make someone else's problem your problem.
