eBay car sales story....

  A former customer of mine put her piece of **** '73 MB 280SE on eBay and
it sold for $3,400.  The guy sends a cashiers check a few days later and
tells her he'll pick up the car in about a week.  After a month, and
numerous unanswered emails, she sends a registered letter letting him know
that she'd going to start charging him storage.  Four more months go by and
the guy hasn't shown.  She lien sales the car for the storage fees and ends
up owning it again.  Pays me $650 to fix the car and has started driving it
as her daily driver.  It's been 7 months since the scmuck paid for the car
and still not a word.  The funny thing is... he's still actively buying on
eBay.

Cheers,

Jeff

"I sold my auto trans blue sunroof GL for $2,200.
I should have tried eBay! "

          If you do ever use E-bate, be vague. Don't give
much of any info.  There are obviously many optimizes
out there, with plenty of easy money to be had.
