Buying what is effectively second hand goods from private forum members is a good way of getting decent gear whether that be equipment or consumables. Most of the stuff that we get in this way is usable either immediately or within a few weeks of purchase and usually within the time limit of being able to get back to the seller if the goods are not "as advertised". However, not Nic Base as this is more than likely to be stashed away, just in case EU regulation do not go in our favour and as Nic Base is very expensive to test for quality and strength, I would be loathed to purchase this from anyone but a Bona Fide Vendor. I mean no slur on any private seller, but Nic Base, being what it is and being so expensive to test, could be cut to hell and gone and the buyer would be none the wiser until he started using it and found themselves vaping three or four times the amount to get the same satisfaction as he had previously achieved with shop bought Nic Base. Sellers on here may be thee most honest and upright citizens in the UK, but in all cases it is a case of buyer beware and in the case of anything that I cannot test on arrival, it is thanks, but no thanks. Each to their own Lobey ,, I took the choice too trust the seller , even thou the thought of foul play did cross my mind for a moment before buying due to low rating , but if we all thought of foul play nobody would buy anything from anyone vendors included as they also are not regulated.

If you're worried about the quality of the nic base then you can test it www.ecigwizard.com/mixing-diy-flavours/diy-accessories/e-liquid-testing-kit-nicotine-strength.html ....it isn't that expensive to do

This is very true, but good vendors depend on their good name to continue in business and therefore will go to great lengths to protect their livelihood.
Forum members are not so constrained.
