I've done plenty of trades on bitcointalk (some over $5k worth) and no issues.
Need to do your own due diligence. Stay away from trading with members that have only been there for a few months, have spammy posts, etc. You could always get a trusted member to do escrow and if the seller/buyer doesn't want to, it's very likely a scam.
