Default Re: Hello, I Have An Important Question To Ask

lol ^^ that'd be a good idea

But yeah, i think it's a scam too because i've been pushing it with him as far as i could without sealing the deal and i'd be a complete lunatic to do this deal. He won't negotiate nothing, which automatically makes me suspicious as it is. Here is what makes me think it's a scam:

- $12, 000 for a 2k5 SRT6? Come on....
- The bid was supposed to be up for 3 days on eBay but as soon as I contacted him, it "expired".
- He is offering to pay half of the shipping, so he's already losing so much money that it's too hard to even fathm...
- I said I wanted to use DAS to ship the product so I can track down where it is on the internet at all times and he said no, he already made arrangments to use UK's Terraship. I'm the buyer, I should have the right to use whatever saftey measure's I want to insure I get my product.
- Then I said I wanted to use Escrow so that if i don't get my product, i have insurance that they will send me my money back and i wouldn't have to worry about being scammed, i'd lose the 200 bucks spent on Escrow and thats it but thats well worth it from 15 grand i'd be spending... he said no again and said he will only use eBay's security thing.

On the whole, this guy is either trying to scam me and take my money, or he actually has the car but is doing it his way because the car is hot (stolen). That's my theory, it's a brand new 2k5 SRT 6 with 10 miles on it, you dont just order a car from America and expect it to be ready for safe driving in the UK when it gets to you. The driver wheel will always be on the left in America. So then you get frustrated and sell it back but are too scared to get most of your money back so you sell it for dirt cheap? Does he honestly expect me to believe him this whole time just because I keep asking questions on making a deal? Come on, if i'm gonna be in debt for 2 years, i'm not going to f*** around with my money, period.
