Sorry, I don't know if the dealer is the good guy or another bad guy but he certainly should have known better. he could have stalled them a day or two, and got their contact info, then called to police to check it out if he was concerned about stolen goods, even had a cop show up when they returned in a day or so. Worst case they go somewhere else and he's not out $20K+. now he's going to have to sue them and get a judgement they will never pay, all because he was in a hurry to make a sketchy deal. if it was an inheritance, then why the rush, give it a day, there might be better dates in there and say you'll make a fair offer for the lot that might turn out better than $22 each. he's a victim of his own making, buyer beware.[/QUOTE]
