I always meet at a local sex club car park or known dogging site before handing over items sold on marketplace or eBay.
Well that's what I've been telling the Mrs all these years

I'm obviously a .real mug, i have my real name and address , registered on here and have sold itens to forum members without a problem. I'm not on social, " antisocial " websites. Am i stupid to trust people on this forum. Or stupid to avoid so called social i""internet Web
Sites".

So many ways to get someone's address.
You only have to sell something fishing related and you have another anglers address.

Just have decent security on your house. Good locks, an alarm system etc. Why would you pay £120 a month to store your gear when you can have a fully monitored alarm system for a quarter of that.
Sold loads and loads of allsorts of things locally, on FB, eBay etc and never had an issue.

All 2nd hand tackle 'could' be stolen . . .however in my experience of both buying and selling my own gear MOST carp anglers are genuine; in over 25yrs I've never had an issue; and meeting up is always the best policy, irrespective of it being in a service station carpark off the M6 or anywhere else for that matter.
Meeting in a public place is safer than exposing your home address to unknowns! I would rather deliver (if local) as this ensures the buyer is genuine . . .

Define hacked.
I don't recall any hacking incidents, and if anyone were to know about them it would probably be me
The server died a while back, and I took a month or so to get the site deployed onto the new server.
Other than that, ages ago (8yrs+) there was somebody spamming the site with stupid messages and that took me a while to stop (few hours that evening, not days).
In the context of this thread, where we are talking about personal info (address), as far as I am aware nobody has ever got to that info.
Just for anyone reading this who wonders, when you go to your profile page YOU can see your address. When other users go to your profile page, they can't see your address.
e.g. go to my profile page (click my profile pic) and you won't see much

300£ or so and you can get decent cameras and hard system
Easy to install and they pick up sound as well so if some toe rags comes sniffing and speaks you can see and hear them can also talk to them If you set it on 2 way.
The ones I have I can set up so it emails me a video.
They are simple to set up and get working. If you have decent loft accesss you can do it in an hour or so for 4 cameras and brain.
I put mine just under the soffits so also doubly protected from wind and rain.
I made a dedicated email address to send the emails from so it didn't clog up my normal email address.
Just use Something like
cameraemail@ whateverserver.com

A lot of folk our way use Blink, if you go the subscription route instant notifications too. We've been using 6 of them for wild life and inspite of reservations they've been faultless. I did have to get a wifi extender, went for a 200m range jobby, since then no drop outs. Also went the rechargeable lithiun battery route, much cheaper than Energizers in the long run.
I like being able to keep a eye on the dogs in the house too, just bring a camera in from the garden and stick it in the room with them...their faces are so funny when you talk to them through it, lots of head cocking

I use the Eufy pro's, brilliant bit of kit, 4k with solar panel on top to recharge, back camera has been up 5 months now and just needed charging for 1st time, film in ultra hd and run through an app on my phone.
Built in AI so it recognises people and pets etc, thoroughly recommend them.

Sounds good.
I use Google Nest / Hubs / doorbell / internal / external cameras
Everything under one app and like yours, you get person detection that pushes a notification to your phone immediately (which can be annoying when a spider crawls past the camera on a new web at 5am...I'm always dusting/removing cobwebs)

Thing is, 200 quid cameras are null and void when the thief is wearing a 5 quid balaclava. They aren't a big enough detterent anymore.
CCTV just shows you've got something worth nicking, and once it's gone, all the 300 quid will get you is a lovely souvenir video of the day your house or shed got turned over.
People paint a target on themselves. Belled up Transit on the drive with a "carp hunter" sticker which can be unlocked in seconds, ring door bell, CCTV, twinkly lights under the soffits which make their house look nice...
