TEARDROP SELLERS
BEWARE! There is a plague of scammers on the internet intent
on separating you from your money, all in the guise of buying what
you are selling! You will likely get a whole bunch of similarly worded
inquiries to your ad here, and anywhere else on the internet, most
from seemingly legit names and e-mail addresses - they all seem to
not have a firm grasp on the English language, they will always ask
for your best and final price, and many will state that shipping
and handling will not be a problem because they already have that
arranged. If you reply, most all will tell you they will pay with
a cashier's check for a substantial amount over your asking price,
and you are to cash that check and give the balance to the "shipper" when
he comes to pick up the item you are selling, some will state that
right up front in their inquiry. Our best advice there is to be diligent
and aware, and make judicious use of the DELETE key. If you think
one or two of these types of inquiries just might be the real deal,
simply tell them you won't accept anything less than what you are
asking, in cold hard American cash, personally delivered! Unfortunately,
this kind of thing is happening to everybody selling anything on
the internet, and it's just something we'll all have to deal with
until the internet gurus figure out a way to track and hang these
bozos. Good Luck selling your teardrop, nonetheless - believe me,
more serious buyers seek out our site than any other, so your odds
are pretty darn good! Back to Top!!!
