Need your advice please
I thank you in advance.
If you had to buy an instrument here what way would you do it? Paypal? Western Union? Any other ways?
What is the most secure way? I almost forgot...I mean when you want to buy used from another forumist...

Go paypal.
Most every services have a fall back policy to cover you in the event something goes wrong.

Re: Need your advice please
yes, and just make sure that you read any and all of the Ts&Cs that a seller/buyer may drop into the sale. Most people just allow for the default, which typicaly covers both sides for basic stuff..but some people can add extra language that buy clicking "Pay Now" you automatically accept. I used Paypal for an eBay purchase of an amp once. The thing showed up DOA, and the seller adamantly stated it was working when he shipped it and refused to take it back or refund my money. I had saved all of our email correspondence showing that the day it arrived I notified him it was DOA, that I had dome simple things like check for blown fuses, the box was not damaged in shipping (which I had pictures of), etc. Anyway - escalated to eBay/Paypal and they refunded my money The dick even had the temerity (have never used that in an actual sentence before) to send me a shitty email accusing me of being a fraud and a cheater. I wasn't, of course, and he lost his money and his broken amp. After the way he acted throwing that thing in a dumpster felt really good! Anyway - just ready everything first! I have bought and sold many expensive things through here, all using Paypal. Same for eBay and Audiogon.

Re: Need your advice please
I have been fortunate with eBay as well. In so long as you read the fine print. I generally try to establish a dialog with the seller to gauge their communication skills - even if it's just a simple pedal sale.
I've had 95% success with eBay. That one bad experience was me as the seller lol. I had sold a wireless Mac keyboard and unbeknownst to me, the battery had leaked inside the unit. The buyer was not able to open it and called me out. So, I promptly refunded his money and let him know he could keep the keyboard. He was fine with it, it was an honest mistake.
Reverb is also another fine up and coming buyer's site. I've had some good sales with them too. I've also seen many good sales go down here on the Stickist as well. There are some out there, as Randy has mentioned, that do try their darnedest to buck the system. Buyer beware, if you are outside of eBay / PayPal, you are on your own.
Best of luck with the purchase.

Thanks...I was thinking about a 10 strings Stick and, at the same time, a railboard...this one combines both specifications. It's a beautiful instrument and the tone is different too. It's a blue one...pictures to come...
