Dog Gone Scammers!!

I have read recently where scammers would mail you a MO that was written for too much, and ask for a refund for the difference. After the refund was given, you would find that the original MO was fake and you were responsible for the refund. (Thanks BustedupCowgirl.)

Ebay is a good sales site, but be prepared to pay as much as 15% of the sale price to eBay.

Try again, but do not hold the item or allow negotiations. Your price has already taken into account the fact that you wish to move it. First come, first serve. Make sure checks clear before allowing pickup. Tell Mr. "I'll Have the Money Tuesday" to call back on Tuesday. Heck, post it here, just be sure to include your location.

I'm in northern ND, and have sold vehicles and machinery as far away as CA and FL, and some stuff that's gone up into Canada.

You have to get used to expecting a few crackpots, and learn to never feel too certain about a deal, until you have "cash in hand", but going beyond that, there's a lot of GOOD people, too, some of which will lead to another purchase or sale, through contacts they have.

Heck of it is though, if a guy really needs to move something, for quick cash, it can be frustrating to deal with situations like you encountered. It's nice to stay in the cash position of only having to sell when the right (and $$$$) oportunity comes along, and not to have to worry about the "wannabes". I wish I could always stay in that position!
