Default ***Possible Scam***

Ive never used the market place before, and im trying to get a BAja 5B with the limited funs i have to obviously the market place, or Ebay is gonna be the way to go. Some guys is offering a great deal. but theres somthing fishy about it. he wants only cash. It seems to me like it would be so easy for him to just take the cash and forgety about me. So i just wanna know if anyone has order stuff from this guy.

Hi,

Price is way lower than dealer price. This kit is at least selling 900.00+ excluding shipping. May be he bought it already and needs money for now. Consider yourself.

Regards

Joaquim

Trust me, he is super legit. I worked with him a little when he was working for Spazstix (Lexan paint company). He is a dealer for many brands of cars.

I see some do not know the whole story behind pay pal. Just read the user agreement word for word. Not trying to tell people what to do but please read the links below before you do use them.
