Me rida my bicycle Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 I am so sorry its happened to you it must be 1 of the worst feelings when you realise what happened.I am old fashioned I want to see it for myself to see the condition and pay cash if happy and leave with it.
Grease_Monkey Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 You send him money after a phone call? Right..Kick a guy while he is down. OP, sorry it happened to you, but on the bright side - it's a mistake you make only once.

scotty Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 I only buy or sell sometimes and when I do it see-pay first. i want to see the item and condition before handing over money and flip side I want to see the money before handing over item and arrange to meet at a shopping center.
RobertWhitehead Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 I also had an experience the other day, I won't go into too much details but after I did not want to send the item the person got very hostile . Some real idiots out there!
