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.

If you think you have a scammer write him back with you phone number and tell him if he is truly interested for him to call you. Chances are he will not call if it's a scam, if it isn't and he truly is interested he will call! Anytime I have an ad and get those emails I do that and I neveer hear back from the scam posts.

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 :waffen093: Tell him you want money sent via western union:boat: 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 :wizard::champs::flag:
