Tell them all that you will pay for the guitar with a money order you have for $5,000 and you want them to send you the guitar and the difference.

Mike,
I thought I was the only one to come up with that idea...LOL. The same thing happened to me the other day: The guy was from the UK, and sent a "second chance offer" (beware of this, also), however, when ebay sends you a "second chance offer", they also have it sent to your "My Messages" in your profile. ....It wasn't there, so I reported it to ebay and they promptly told me it was fraudulant. The BEST thing you can do is to immediately report these people to ebay.

Wonder how so many people got your email?
I guess we expose it on the forum enough,
but not on e-bay. |
