my friend and i spent a few thousand dollars on koi from him. this is just a personal opinion, but Max's probably as secure as they come. Once my friend didn't bring enough cash, bought kois about S$8000 worth i recall, Max asked him to just take the fish first and wire the money over after he's back in Jakarta. we were a bit surprised cause it was the first time we bought anything from him.
another time we went to a place nearby his to buy ranchu, Max dropped us off. we blew our budget as usual (always happens when you go fish hunting, it seems) the guy wouldn't take a cheque so Max offered to spot us the cash (i think we were short a few thousand). in the end we found out the guy accepted NETS (a kind of bankcard in spore) which i had, so we didn't need the cash, but still i was a bit taken by how casual Max is with helping out an overseas guy (who could easily disappear hahaha) even though he had met us only a couple of times. I should say, we have friends who had already been buying from him regularly so that may have played a part in his confidence with us.
anyway, i've dealt with him only a couple of times, but based on my limited knowledge i only have good things to say about Max as you may have noticed, and my experience is very much in line with my other friends who've also done business with him. only good things i've heard.
of course when it comes down to it, any testimony given to you here by me or anyone else who knows Max ain't going to be worth a cent in the event you do encounter any problem (even if it may come as a shock to people like me if you did). i'm sure you don't need me to tell you that. but having seen how Max operates, personally i'm pretty sure you'll have a good buying experience with him.
p/s: there's another guy who used to be very active posting here under the handle patrick123. Patrick bought an Answer from Max and had some problem with the equipment. If you really want to seek other forum members' experience with Max, you might want to check with Patrick how his was. He should be able to give an even more objective view on Max and how Max addressed his equipment problem. while it was all just roses for me! 
cheers and good luck!
