I'd do business with them, they have gone out of their way to be forward with you, and they seem honest enough..

maybe i'm being paranoid, here, but look there's a trend..... It looks like they're filling in blanks and all want to deal with their own reps.....If you were intrested in buying something wouldn't you want to be more "personalistic?" and sound like you know what you're talking about???? I mean a left handed ESP Viper is no small change...I paid 1500 dollars for it, wouldnt they say wow.....i've been playing esps and they're the best etc..etc.. and as far as the porsche, it doesn't even sound real. I have an email from the guy who want's to pay me 7K for it and an additonal 8k for shipping? oh well.... at least my posts are adding up... |

OK...boxy but good. You can get laid in the back and still be considered a good republican if you wear wing tips and are a Protestant/Quaker/fill in the blank nazi that doesn't read the fine print. What's the downside?

One of the pitfalls of doing business on ebay. When you create your ads, stipulate that you will ONLY sell/ship to the cont. US. You might also put in a stipulation that you will not accept any bids from someone with less than 5 feedbacks. That will help limit the amount of this kind of bs that you get. |
