Forgive the stupid question I’m fairly new here
So when you do trades, is it all by trust. You send yours first hoping the other person will do their part and send theirs?
Or same with agents ? You send them the money hoping they’ll ship you the kettle ?

Short answer is yes and no.
Regardless of the transaction type (trade, member sale, CL, OfferUp...) I exchange numbers and try to have a phone conversation with the other party. You can usually tell someone’s intentions in a phone call. If they don’t want to talk I might walk.
Agent transactions can go a few different ways. You could let the agent handle the seller and pickup and then “buy” from them. Or you do the up front work and they are the middle man or the pickup guy. As long as they don’t send you a briefcase full of their dirty whites you’re good.
I’ll also ask other members for references.
Ultimately use your own judgement and what you’re comfortable with.
I haven’t been screwed over by any members here and I don’t feel like I have to worry about it as much here.
