I smelled scam in his first five words, cant go into details but I saved my friend from loosing it all.. he don't know how close he came ...peace... don't ever tell me you are on religious retreat and so you cant personally inspect but will send shipper... I hate religion lol... get creative and say your growing dope in the hills and ya got a chance

recently sold my '72 Cougar & had it listed on CraigsList. A very sweet wife wanting to buy the car as a gift for her soldier husband returning from Afghanistan contacted me. Oh boy, the names I called his mother, the things I wished on his mother hehehe.......

Paypal is great as a buyer, but it is set up massively in favour of buyers vs sellers. I do use it, because it is so damned convenient, but I sure as fuck wouldn't accept is as payment from someone I didn't know well. Fuck selling things on ebay too. Listing fees, fees for pics, cut of the price, then paypal get their bite too....balls to that.
