Jeffeasttx,
I can tell you that I have sent out a friendly PM to a few people inquiring about a dog from one specific person. That person very rarely posts and has only listed a few dogs for sale, but he has really screwed some of my friends, and I don't want to see it happen to someone else. So in keeping within the rules of the board, I PM the potential buyer, and I offer them a list of references on the person. Maybe they call them, maybe they don't...It's up to them at that point, and I am not publicly calling the person out, but at least they have the opportunity to be informed.
