depends really, how much moneys is involved and weither the person is well known on the forum etc...
I have only been unure on here once doing a swap deal with someone who I didnt know....so I got him to speak to a few of his well known mates on here to vouch for him before I did a swap.....not a guarantee but a good inclination that I'd get my parts & the guy wasnt a messer.
So common sense really, post count, reputation etc...

PayPal is the safest way, if you dont receive your parts then you will 95% of the time get your money back.
5% of the time the pikeys wont pay up and paypal send the debt to a collection agency which means a potentially loooooong wait.
Best option IMO!

14000+ post superhero
especially if he sends an empty box recorded delivery...you sign for it and your fucked, no chance with paypal as he has signed proof you received....unless its a well known member i wouldnt risk nearly Ł500 notes. theres to many knobbers out there scamming.

Yep, I would set off mid morning, arrive mid afternoon, buy the parts, pop to a ember in for some grub and a pint then head back just after rush hour.
two of you go, share the drive, couple of hours a piece, unless it is a trusted well know memember that is.
