Secure Trading Guide - Buy & Sell with confidence

At CaveCollectors.com, we want to make sure that every transaction is safe, smooth, and hassle-free. Whether you're buying a vintage jukebox or selling a vintage motorcycle, following these simple guidelines will help ensure a safe transaction.

Tips for safe buying

• Research the seller - Check their profile, reviews, and ask questions before making a deal.
• Meet in person if possible - If you're buying a high-value item, try to arrange a safe, public place to meet.
• Use secure payment methods - Avoid paying in advance using unsecured methods such as wire transfers. Consider escrow services for high-value items.
• Inspect Before You Pay - If possible, see the item in person or request a detailed video to confirm its condition.

Tips for Safe Selling

• Verify the buyer - Be wary of buyers who rush transactions or offer to overpay.
• Use Secure Payment Options - Avoid accepting checks or direct wire transfers from unknown buyers.
• Avoid Scams - Watch out for fake payment confirmations, phishing emails, or requests to ship an item before payment is received.
• Meet in a safe place - When exchanging in person, choose a public place and bring a friend if necessary.

Common scams to watch out for

• Overpayment Scams - A buyer offers to pay more than your asking price, but asks for a refund of the difference.
• Phishing Emails - Fake messages pretending to be from CaveCollectors.com asking for login details. We will never ask you for your password!
• Fake Escrow Services - Be wary of third party services suggested by the buyer that are not reputable.

Always trust your instincts - if a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
