never ever accept larger payments with paypal

i would always only accept a cash sale for a car

if someone genuinely wants your car enough, they'll come and buy it with cash

But he seemed so genuine in his email!

Wouldn't have caught me out but I think the unaware trust paypal implicitly sadly, got another through the autotrader site from a thoroughly english sounding name @btinternet told him to break off too, shame if it was a genuine query but can't be bothered with someone who won't ring

Currently selling a Corsa which is up for £1995 and received an email asking about it's condition and my final price, make an offer I says then receives this rather odd reply:

Thanks for your mail..i will like you to know that am buying this car for my son in australia as a bithdsy gift ..so i will offer you £2,200 if my offer is accepted with you kindly get back to me with your PayPal Account so that i can proceed with the payment in time as a matter of urgently needed
y:

Obviously some oddness going on but I haven't seen the paypal angle before, most curious!!! what do you reckon and how do you think this will play out if I was to play along ?

General Discussion Area / Ryanair luck!

« on: 08 March 2011, 20:00:02 »

Silly mare of a Mrs just messed up an online booking and added her own name instead of her Mums. Phone lines closed at 7pm so as you would expect it is a case of book another flight or pay an exhorbitant fee to change it.

Hmm....... I think and phoned the local airport, asked for the Ryanair desk and a lovely lady changed the name on the booking for me! The owner may be a sh*t but that doesn't mean all the staff are! I will pop a box of choccies to her later this week

I have not come across these offers on other forums and some of the stuff is at a cracking price from a known good guy, would hate to bite the nose to spite the face so to speak. Just my humble opinion and can't see the difference between this and the recent head unit offers :-/

Cheers guys, the garage is a freebie but has no roof, was asbestos anyway, and needs a new door I think it's 6 ftx 12 ft

Sorry it's well bigger than that, too much vino last night 
That's not a garage, that's a shed! (FTR, my 'single' garage is ~9' wide by 21' long)

I got some quotes from various builders on laying a poured concrete slab for a shed recently (12' x 10') - £650 was the cheapest..

Think I'll be hiring a mixer and doing it myself (since it's a small, non structural, area)!

It was going to be a bit of a great train robbery, the plan was to rob a mail train chocca with registred goodies from London at a remote train station on Bodmin Moore
