<p>[QUOTE="cash4coin, post: 2088479, member: 47271"]Be there done that with a Duncan Phyfe dining set and coins other times. Same routine. Buyer offers more than asking. You reply. Potential buyer requests place to meet. I always meet at the local donut shop I say. Within the hour the buyer replies that he needs to leave town immediately for a family or business emergency BUT he wants the item no less and he'll send you the payment asap and his agent will pick up the item(s). Buyer again replies a bit later that he just sent by overnight mail the offer price BUT he say's, he messed up and sent $(X amount usually several hundred more) by accident! And as soon as I receive his certified (fake) check in the morning fed-ex, deposit his certified fake check into my bank account and IMMEDIATELY within the hour by Western Union send him back the extra money he sent by 'accident'. By then it's to late, you have been scammed. It's so common and frequent that now I just go along with the scammer and let them waste their time and money sending overnight parcel's. And as before. If you are dealing with Craigslist items, always meet at a local restaurant, never at night, never at your home and DO NOT give out your address.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
