Never trust a guy who uses the word "soonest"  ???

Kind of like the word "conversate". ;D ;D

Maybe I should write back and tell him the final price is $5,000.  I bet he is probably an attorney for a wealthy client somewhere overseas.

I sold a car on Ebay once and got an inquiry like that. I told the guy to send $1,500.00 to my Pay-Pal account and bring cash for the rest. HE DID IT! I picked the guy up from the airport and he drove to car back to Miami!
