It's easy to get jumpy in this game. It's not like you have that 'consumer protection' that you're used to with other online purchases. I echo the advice: if they're a trusted dealer, be patient. I know it's hard, but it pays off.
Thanks, great post. It's too bad some new users haven't read this. I purchased my first rep on the streets of HK. Of course it doesn't come with the great customer service that is provided by the TDs here.
