I think John hit the nail on the head. I am very reluctant to deal with anyone in Europe. Buy, sell, trade, etc. unless I know that person and am confortable in taking the risk. I have had only a few dealing in Europe, with long-time members of another forum. These worked out well for both parties. But like mentioned, there are alot of scammers and very little recourse for those of us in the USA.
Matthias, I would buy through a dealer in which you establish rapport with and who is comfortable working with you. I know there are some out there who will ship to the former USSR and who not rip you off.
