yea man poke around get some posts and get verified< i cant stress it enough for newer people, the classifieds here rock, many good people and great deals and rarities float by, bought and sold quit a bit of gear myself there.
it is also a great way to open up trying top shelf gear, you buy it dont like or get buyers remorse, pop it in the classies and move on. doing this has allowed me to try so much gear without being stuck with a 150 dollar atty i dont like.
