A friend who recently sold one of her ReactorPanel saddles told me  
yesterday that she got *50* different scam e-mails offering to buy  
it.  And when she got an inquiry and started negotiating with one guy  
who happened to be a lawyer, she felt so suspicious that she "vetted"  
the guy through RP's mgmt to make sure he was "real" and ok to deal  
with; they'd known him F2F from his saddle search.  Everyone ended up  
happy, but it sure raised my antennae about long distance sales.   
I've bought and sold a fair amount of camera stuff that way.  Another  
scam I'm particularly subject to receiving is the "come shoot my  
wedding" or "come shoot my farm", I'll pay you a deposit first and  
then won't you refund the overpayment?

Yep, just be careful.
