So the question is simple, is it safe to buy ships from low sec stations ? |

"Safe-ish"
You need to plan to get it out. -make sure it isn't camped. -Have an insta undock bookmark set in advance -Have your route to hi sec planned in advance -Take a friend to act as scout and/or guard -Type "gf" in local if and when they catch you and blow your ship up.
No Risk, no reward

It's very safe if you have an undock bookmark and you're adjacent to a high-sec system you're flying to. No bubbles so insta warp to undock then warp to gate and voila, in high sec!
If you're not adjacent to high-sec, do as above but only when you have a scout. Always have a cloak on your ship if you're just trying to deliver it somewhere. |

Even if you don't have an alt, grab a shuttle and check out the systems in your path back to hisec real quick before taking your new ship back. |

1. you can't be locked out of low sec stations, so it's OK there. 2. if you're worried, buy the ship and let it sit for a couple days. IF someone is waiting, chances are they'll get bored. 3. Once you get there and it looks quiet (assuming it looks quiet), use your noob ship (fly there in your pod) to set up an insta-undock location. When the system is quiet, leave.
If it's a large costly ship, just give the transport courier contract to Black Frog and await delivery. |

Don't buy from known gank systems (Rancer and the like). You should be alright otherwise, just take reasonable precautions. |

Honesty if you even have to ask this the answer is definitely no. Just go to Jita or one of the other trade hubs if you want to save a little ISK.
Once you get a better understanding of PVP the risk might be minimal with buying ships in some lowsec systems but there is no "safe" in any part of New Eden. |

Some lowsec areas you can move through with relative safety if you are cautious/prepared. Others...
Use a scout. You should have a non-skilled toon on your account, put them in a noob ship and explore. If it gets popped your loss is virtually nil, but the Intel can be priceless. |

as others have stated, buying is not the problem. the problem is to get them out safely. the safest way of doing it is to have an instawarp undock bookmark, as well as using the cloak+mwd trick on all gates.

Should be said that since he's in gallente FW he cannot dock in caldari controlled FW systems. |
