Hey everyone. I found a guy selling an '02 rappy for $3000. He is in Miami, FL. I was going to get it but I have no truck of my own and Houston to Miami is 2400 miles round trip...alot to ask your friend to drive for you ya know. Anyway, its a good deal, or it sounds like a good deal, so I thought I'd post it here.

Your Message: I know this is probally a dumb question but no way you would take $3000 for it and I would come and pick it up somehow? Thanks,

It is not dumb at all and for me it will be even better if you can come to pick it up as I will not have to crate it and arrange the shipping... I would like to tell me when will you come to pick it up? I hope not long after you made the payment, let say till the end of the month? I would like the payment by USPS money order, it will be any problem for you? If you have the money ready and you are serious about purchasing it let me know your address to make the bill of sale in the meantime.

Best Regards,
Noah

That sounds fishy I thought USPS money orders could only go up to like $500? Also if you paid for somthing like this prior to picking it up then a money order would be the worst thing you could pay for it with.

 

Why would you send money order when you are going to pick it up in person?? "not long after payment?"


COD!


I think you are right about the $500 money order.

 

I was wondering the same thing about picking it up but paying first. That makes no sense and no way I was going to do that. I was also a bit mysterious because his response sounds a little bad, not what he said, just his english. I am wondering if it might be one of the portugal/uk/spain scam things they have going. But on the other hand, it might be perfectly fine and all you need to do is email him and call him up. I Have no clue. Just sounded like a good deal to me, and a deal that could possibly be true, but I can't drive that far. Anyway, obviously be careful with what you are doing but if it is real then someone will get a hell of a deal. Mike
