I am looking to buy a dagger and is there anything you can do to figure out if they are scammers or not.

G'day mate, I don't know if you have anyone in mind but I would recommend Lakesidetrader.com, Paul is a nice bloke to deal with and in my limited experience has gone out of his way to provide me with excellent service. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to anyone.

one way is to have the items posted here to authenticate.

The sellers name is Radka Sha does anyone know who this person is?

How much is being asked for this

i did a search on the sellers name. it looks to be a scammer operating on another forum. untill they were removed. do not buy this dagger from this seller. type in the sellers name in a web search and see what you find.

Than how do they scam you when they guarantee money back, and they put a tracking number on it. Do they just get the money and run. What if I said to do cash on delivery and the person agreed. If you don't know what COD is it is when you get the delivery you pay the mail person to give the money to the seller.

COD wont happen. and your looking at the wrong thing. the person has scammed and has tried to scam others. the money back means nothing. read up on the person. and be very carefull buying from over seas, unless it's a well known forum member with a good reputation. or you could have problems.
on this deal i would say just back away, and do some checking like i suggested.
