I'm probably not fully appreciating the idea here, but,....

Other than estimating shipping costs, and just knowing the honest people a little better, what else do we hope to gain?

As one who had to work hard to outwit the scammers, the scammers obviously lie and cheat so we shouldn't expect them to indicate their real, actual location. That isn't going to happen. I can say per my experience, unless you are using the Pelican system PMs, you will get in trouble really quickly. Don't share any email or cell numbers publicly.
