another part of this scam. they will send you a check for the amount you
are asking plus another say $500 or $1000. then ask you to send some
sort of payment either by western union or one of those money cards to a
freight company who will pick up the item and ship it to them. of
course, you being prudent will deposit the check and wait a few days to
see if it bounces. however, because the account does not exist, it takes
about a week to two weeks for it to actually bounce. had it been a real
account, it would have bounced nsf (non sufficient funds) in a few days.
now we are about 4-5 days out and you think woohoo, so you get your
funny money for the guy and send it off only to find after the week or
two, the bank just yanked all the money back. you still have your radio
because they never sent anyone to pick it up but are out that fee they
took for their freight company.
it is a fun world. i stopped selling anything on ebay because if it is
worth something, they will say you shipped them an empty box. then you
are out and seen as the crook.
face to face at a hamfest, get the cash and be happy.
