I have sent thousands via wire. As a buyer, it can be a bit nerve wracking, but someone has to leap first and I've yet to go wrong.
Never received via wire, but I would have no fear about doing so. Only caveat is that some sending banks may request the receivers address as well as the bank's - ie, you would provide it to the buyer so the buyer could provide it to their bank. I'd be wary of sharing my home address with someone I didn't know or couldn't verify through other means.
