Subject: Re: Fw: unethical sales
I have attempted to buy this van and while I will agree with your point
about cash in hand takes it at 1000.00 It seems to me that the sale and
bidding up is happening via e-mail, because no one from the Memphis area
has yet dropped 1000.00 on this. I say this because I have left repeated
messages at his # and each time get what seems to be his workplace with the
message about being out of town this week. Now personally ,If I aim to sell
a vehicle and target it to a specific audience via this list then I am damn
well going to be home and will also be talking to people not just through
the computer.
I have been trying to talk to the guy so that I can forward funds to
secure the van. If I had secured it and had driven down from Chicago
getting a tow vehicle, helper , time off and tow dolly , showing up and
finding out that the price had gone up , I would have been ready to shoot
some one. For the flamers, the last bit was a statement of rage not action!
Any way, it looks like a nice van but the transaction is just a little
too flaky for me. Have at it.
