ok.. While I certainly wasn't expecting an earth shattering amount of interest in my 1.7 core motor, as advertised in the for sale area and offered for free, you can only imagine my suprise when someone offered me $2000 for it!
Not wanting to disappoint a possible buyer (or miss a possible sale) I bit, and asked how we might make this deal work! Seems my buyer was located in S. Africa, but had debts owed to him by someone in the US. He would simply have a "Cashiers" check sent to me (by mail)for the amount "he was owed", and once cleared, I would send him the "balance"... not a word about the shipping of the motor. So if: scot freeman joe (scot_freeman@myway.com) contacts you about a similar deal, be for warned! Maybe I should have said "yes", this way he could be wanted for Mail Fraud, a US FEDERAL offense, no? Here's one for you, Scot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/finger.gif) |
