Here is the latest of e-mails. Newest at the top. No punches pulled on this one. Completely unedited. I would encourage everyone here to let Mr. Fisher (if that's even his real name) know what we think of his ilk. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

Subject: Re: PAYMENT/PICKUP

The car will be sold for $2700 cash. Once $2700 cash is counted out to me in person the buyer will receive the car, it's title and keys.

Sincerely,

Joshua Skinner

Hello

Thanks for the mail.I will take it for $2700.I really want to buy it.
For the pick up,have arranged for
that, my shipping agent will come for the pick up as
soon as the payment is settled, I just contacted my
client in the US who is going to make the payment for
me as he is owing me some money and he said he wants
to pay with cashiers check.I am not an American so you
guys know the most preferable option.
My client will be sending the check of $8,000 so i
expect that the excess funds on it be sent back as
this will be used for shipping arrangement.As soon as
i get your full name and address including your
contact number to which the check will be issued and
sent then i will immediately instruct my client
to send you the check.
I look forward to trustworthy transaction with you,
expecting your mail the soonest. and also tell me if i
can count on you to send back the balance or not.

Thank you once again.

Gary,

The car is a fine running and driving automobile. I have represented it's
condition quite accurately. I have had a local man drive the car and
express interest and he was pleased with the car and it's road performance.
With new paint and the few needs listed in the ad you would have a very
good looking and fine driving car.

My bottom dollar today is $2700.

Wrong grass..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)

Hey, if this guy is really from Holland, a payment in grass shouldn't be any problem (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
