What buyers are interested in are the most recent feedbacks and those can be found from "last page" backwards. Also, "good" sellers could link that post in their signature and/or encourage for feedback after a transaction there.
This, like the eBay feedback mechanism, would lead buyers to leave a feedback and sellers to care about offering a good service.
It would take a while for people to get accustomed to the idea but it is something that can benefit both sellers and buyers.

I guess that would work, but it still doesn't stop Joe (let's say) posting that DE.50 is the best guy to deal with on the forum, when in reality Joe and I are friends trying to hold out on that big score where we sell a GTM 4.5L stroker with their 1000HP TT kit and try to pocket $50k or whatever...

Honestly, I think we've KINDA got it down, forum members watch one another's backs, yes, there are dumb transactions being made, but 99.999% of the time, the offers are too good to be true and the buyers jump the gun and are doing something dumb, or not being cautious enough...
And I hope I can be an example of... Oh, Andrew is selling a Nismo suspension without pics? Meh, a) he's a premium member and AK probably has all his info, and B) Andrew ain't going to ruin his reputation of having 50+ purchases and sales under his belt for a few hundred bucks, AND I'll at least cover my own àss a bit anyways and use PayPal without the gift feature

(Although I just got gifted money, lol. I'm still not screwing anyone for $250)
