I agree! All I ever recall nomad saying is that his stuff is the real deal. Geez, I made a few successful purchases from him. I don't think blaming anyone other than the vendor is called for. This is why escrow is so important. I know that I have done things out of escrow so that I felt comfortable selling bigger quantities. So far, I haven't had an issue, but I think its best for everyone's sake to keep inside escrow. If you go outside of escrow, never give more than you can afford to lose. i have the same mentality when I gamble. I pretend that money is already gone, so if (when) i lose it all, Im not disappointed. Also, I would do at least 2 purchases before going out of escrow. I would never go out of escrow on a first transaction.
