I really haven't posted anything in a long time and rarely comment. Guess you made a lasting impression if they have their own page to talk about you. You're like famous and shit....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah, some dude in Nigeria that's parting out sleds and has all the same pictures as 5 other previous scammer accounts. It just sucks because once one is weeded out another pops back up with the same exact ad. Admins of these groups have to keep up with this or the group kind of goes to shit. People spamming group pages with T-shirt ads over and over and not giving a shit about the spelling mistakes LOL Then the dead beat sellers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold a piece of jewelry for over 500 bucks a few years back. They kept my money in escrow for 30 days, just in case the buyer had second thoughts or some such bullshit. I only use it as a last resort now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
