I have put it in the suggestions forum before but I think if people want to sell something they should have to have a photo of it and their user name next to it to prive they actually have the goods, yes its not going to guarantee they post it but its just a slightly increased sense of knowing they actually have the damn thing to sell in the first place!!

tbh you shouldn't pay for expensive items unless you are going to collect.... just use your common sense people! If its milleage then don't buy it!
Your gonna have this sort of thing happen no matter what site you use... ebay have to deal with this all the time but they special in this, where as Saxp is just a forum with the added bonus of a for sale section!

I agree with the Noob lol.. plus its weird that he wants to post engines and gear box's nd shit when most people would do collection only and Bank transfers are a NONO.

Sometimes I think that 90% of this world are completely moronic. Fair enough even the most cautious people can't always help getting scammed but seriously;
Bank Transfer only?
Engines and Gearboxes posted?
If you can't smell SCAM from that then you truly deserve to be deprived of your money. It should just be going to a better cause, rather than some cowardly e-scammer's back pocket.

ive got an update, say bye bye to the moeny handed over by bank transfer, sorry like but as posted, you ppl are sooooooooooooo stupid, i wouldnt even send bank transfer to ppl with a 16,000 post count, you simply cant prove anything with it or without it, even if you find the lad etc and name adress and fookin boxer short colour you cant prove anything by it and simply the police cant do anything, you put money in his bank account
