The pictures are of all the flaws. The rest is beautiful, but I am going to
try and get pics of the sides tomorrow. To be honest, it won't last long, but
it is not sold yet. I am in Oakland, TN 38060.

Oh, I want It I thought it was going to be orly blue but for the price and a
title I will take any color!
What I meant by looking at it is" pick it up"
I can come Saturday, do you need a deposit or payment before then?

I am holding it until tomorrow for a gentleman in Seattle for $1.5k. BTW, it
is Orly Blue....                 (gee, I thought it wasnt sold yet?)
Jim
So I call Jim Finally after a few emails about Seattle and say what the xxxx?
Is this an auction?Where am I inline?
 Now the price he tells me is up to 1.75k and the first one to wire the money
gets it!     What the hell do you think I was trying to do from the beginning.
I would not send a dime to this guy he can't be trusted.  This guy really
sucks couse it would have bean a hell of a deal even at 2k but what else is
he going to pull ? What else is he hiding ? Talk about bait and switch!
