I'm that stubborn person that refuses to trust anyone unless they've offered a service for a decent period of time and have vouches on his or her thread to back up their word of providing a product or completing a project. I also refuse to go first and don't use MM (not that I know any, or I would trust them somewhat), so there's that. Fortunately for most people, I don't do many deals per year at all, maybe 5 max as I don't manage servers anymore.
Someone with 100 rep has the same potential to scam as someone with 1 rep. As helpful as rep is to indicate that someone is less likely to scam, it isn't a guarantee that someone isn't going to scam at any select number of rep. Personally, I base my trust on gut feeling and my overall impression on a person rather than a number.
