5200 for my van, what do you think?? | Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 2,108 veteran | OP veteran Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 2,108 | Well I was offered 5200 for my van, guy is over in London and wants to buy it then have it shipped there. He was on here looking for a van, does this sound legit? I'm attached to my van but the back is empty yet, I'd have to find another one! http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3810924 | | | Re: 5200 for my van, what do you think?? | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 3,586 Likes: 1 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 3,586 Likes: 1 | Thats up to you , do you want to sell it ?

I been looking I can only find Junk , or top dollar rides . | | | Re: 5200 for my van, what do you think?? | Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 6,266 Vanner Extraordinaire | Vanner Extraordinaire Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 6,266 | We have people in England that can check this guy out if he is a vanner. If you sell it, get an International money order, and don't ship til you are SURE it cleared. I'd wait at least 30 days.

Loves cars etc and wants a shorty van. I'm not sure I can part with it? I know I have much more to do but it seems like it's getting harder to find a good van these days. He says it would cost him 1800 to get it shipped there.

The all to common scam for some of these is, they will send you a bank draft for 7000.00 say, and have you send the 1800 balance back to him, or to the so called " shipping company" and he will arrange the shipping...or, .off course that never happens as the the original draft was a phoney, and he has your money and disappears..... I would go one step further than waiting the 30 days as H suggested, I would take the draft to the bank and have them call....most banks are aware of the scam See this http://www.phonebusters.com/english/recognizeit_advfeefraudover.htmlAnd yes, anybody can be anybody on the net, especially with stolen or cloned id... So be careful out there....and like Howard says, we have Vanners over there to help check it out....
