Question posted by vyoung on November 8th, 2015
Response And Payment Of Item. Here Is The Response The Person Sent Me.
Thanks for the response, Just so you know I'm okay with the condition/price and I'm ready for the purchase plus I'm willing to add an extra $20 so as to have it reserved in my favor. My form of payment will be via business or personal check which could be cashed instantly or deposit for clearance and after that we could proceed with the pick up arrangements so you can be rest assured. Also, I would be responsible for the pick-up as i have other belongings to be moved alongside and to avoid any delays, the movers/pick-up fees would be added to the payment. If you're okay with the form of payment kindly write back with necessary details (name, address and cell #) so i can make out payment via USPS priority mail 2-Day delivery. Could have come for viewing but won't fit in my schedule due to my work frame but pictures will be appreciated. Does this smack of a scam?

This is a common scam. If you deposit the check your bank will eventually bounce it as not good and you'll have to make up the shortfall.
