I have not purchased any shots through the message board, but I have purchased a few 'collections' through ebay. Maybe 30 shots at a time, two-thirds of which I really wanted. Only once did the packaging fail - too small a box with tightly packed newspaper and all i got was shards, no shots. Some of the other deliveries were dubiously packaged but did manage to survive.
A few years ago, I traded a coule dozen duplicates with Mark, and I thought it went well. I proposed all the details in an email, and as soon as he agreed i sent a package priority usps. I don't know if he waited until he got mine to send his, but pretty soon I got exactly the ones I expected. We complimented each other on the fine packaging we each did, and I haven't heard from him since.
I suppose I should post links to pics of my duplicates and extras for potential trades, but I'd like to hear more stories about trading from other collectors. Especially those who have been on this board for a while (you know who you are).
