Sad to learn I've bitten by another bad deal from a member

Ya know I'm a new member here, But here's an idea we've been kicking around on another site.

Folks who are in good standing and trustworthy could go and look ( make sure the item is there and what the seller says it is) at an item before you buy it. That way items that are not in your area could be viewed by an impartial third party.

I've been ripped off over the net before, so I'm more than willing to go out of my way and look at items in my area.
