Someone must come in person to inspect the boat. I don't care if they send their grandmother but someone who represents them must always come look at the boat. I don't care if it's your best friend, what you think is a nice boat may be another's crap hole. It is a must with every boat I sell.

As for the scamer....forget them and move on.

I wouldn't do that. You may have every telemarketer in the world calling you.

I messed with one of these guys on ebay- said had a new 30ft cig. For 25k in england and with my payment could have it in any east coast port in 5 days!! I asked him if he could get it to the "port" of friendship, me. (a tiny fishing town) he assured me he could
i had him firing back excited emails-told him i sent payment ,resent payment, etc he then got pissed and i got a couple threating em in nigerian- english
my last response was a big smiley face w/sucker under it

Since you will be the 1 on the receiving end of the money use the reverse scam on him. Tell him you don't like to use pay pal due to their anti gun attitude Tell him you want money sent via western union To spice it up include a link to western union and tell him how there are locations thruout the world and how easy it is to do

Always remember when logging into Paypal, You type www.paypal.com it automatically adds the HTTPS://www.paypal.com. Notice the "S", Means secure. Always pay attention to that on any website where you are completing transactions.
