The one I met, the usual, brother worked in a space station where they were studying how to build a coal mine on mars. The money would be set by Marty McFly, and then delivered by snow white and the three little bears. Only when he realized I was the big bad wolf did he let it go.

Guy based in Durban bought bike after his bro came to view. Bike was kept until every cent cleared. I even had bike boxed for him after he paid me. MajG 1
love2fly Posted October 8, 2021 Posted October 8, 2021 I have another rule pertaining to a bike or if the item is pricey...if anyone offers me payment upfront without viewing I treat it as a scam.... Ed-Zulu and TheoG 2
