A guy out of alabama just thought he sold his 69 camaro. The guy sent him a 1000 deposit. This check cleared the bank.
Total price of car 20,000.00. The guy sent another cashier check for 19,000.00 and was scheduled to pick the car up the next day.
Pretty quick pick up for payment by check.
Well, the cashier check could not be verified at all. After several emails and attempts by the buyer to make other arrangement to purchase the car using cashiers checks, the buyer contacted the seller and stated "Looks like you made a grand off of me"
New scam send 1000.00 bucks for check that clears, talk to you like you have ebbn buddies forever, send ya a bad cashier check and pick up the car before you figure it out....
I'd like to catch a NGSOB like this in an alley. Me and Ol Trusty "Chain Link Jangles" would have a lil fun with him.....
Teach him what its like when you try to screw a good l boy....

When I bought the Rabbit. I went into a small room and counted the cash 3 times before I gave it to the guy. I made him write a bill of sale that included that I could keep the name Rabbit on the truck!

what is wrong with people
some people on this site must be smoking something.Ill trade but the trade value is double,are they nuts or what ?some of the junk and I do mean junk on here ,is a waste of space ,and if trade is double,what makes it worth double for a trade? we all know times are hard but I see ads here and the stuff ain't worth a quarter of the price ,granted there are some deals too but majority are just a waste of time and space on here ,people get real on some of your junk for sale ,if you paid too much for it what makes you think sombody else is going to pay more for it or trade for double for what your JUNK is worth

When I finally sold my trailer, the guys looks at it for 10 minutes, hands me $500, ask me tobring it to him the folowing weekend and he handed me the rest of it, $6500 cash. I counted the money, still in bank wrappers and signed the title and drove off. I really miss that trailer, but it wouldn't haul two cars.

not speaking about anyone or particular situation...but i think i know where this trade price is more theory come into play..
1st off cash is King anytime...Cash talks Bullchit walks..
now if i got something for sale on here..i want cash and sell it out right, unless i state otherwise.
Now if i got someone coming along that Wants to trade Plus pay cash Difference...Then Yes its understandable that I DO NOT allow you the same price as i would with a Outright cash sell.
Unless of course i like what you have and want to allow the same price as cash...My option ( seller)
But if i want to help you out by accepting your trade in,,then expect to pay a little more for My item.......cause Now i gotta turn around and sell yourstuff to get My money....Hoepfully i know enough about your stuff to not cut My own throat by trading..
Anyhow this is where i think Most trade Higher theories comes in to play...its nothing Un-common.....look at trade in's at local cars lots, look at how much you pay at the gas pump with a credit card Vs cash....No difference here.....
If Someone don't like a man's sells Pitch...just pay him straight up and forget about it.
Just my 2- cents.
