Maybe I missed this sticky, but is there any advice on buying third-party for the first time? I see mentions for rentals but, anything for purchase? I want to purchase from the tug marketplace, but...no clue where to start and am a little nervous. What are the issues to look out for? What are some of the tips to ensure you're not being scammed, etc. Why is Tug a trusted resale marketplace, etc? :)

Thanks!

There are several articles on the Advice page, at the top of the forum. There is a list of popular resellers at the top of the Buying, Selling, Renting Forum. Of course, we recommend TUG! ;)

The 3 you hear most often mentioned on TUG are TUG, Redweek, and eBay.
