I have had three items for sale on the Swap Meet, Early V8, since 09-24-2024. I have had four responses. Of the four responses, there was a phone call from one - I never gave my phone number. The three others were email messages that all sounded the same - using similar words and sentences. Three were willing to pay the full asking price by certified check. One of those was willing to pay $50 extra, if I took the item off the site immediately before payment was received. All three wanted our name and address, all would wait until the check cleared, and two of them then would get back to me to arrange pickup after they returned from a business trip.
We emailed back to the three that we would only accept cash at pickup. No further email responses have resulted from the three as they were probably scared away.
I am sure that the email messengers’ names were all false. They were Susan Mackinnon, Sebastian Plum, and Brian Howard.
