it sound like a scam already, my friend onces sold his amp, had it posted in craigslist.com he kept gettin email from this guy says he is in new york. he ask for his name paypal accout so he can send money.

friend gave it to him. then he gets an email later saying he have payment from that guy with 400. 100 more then what he ask for shipped. but he goes into his paypal account but see nothing about the money being send.

that email said"paypal", its say he has to shipped the item to him first, and send tracking number to him. and paypal. then paypal will release the money. so he did that. him and the guy replyin back n forth. for next 5 days. then never heard from him. the last thing the guy said paypal will take time to give u the money. so he call paypal up. and they had know clue what he was talkin about, no one send money or anything. they ask him what the user name on that email they send you. hey told the guy his name was sam lavar, but sam is for short. paypal told him. that everytime paypal send you something, they will greet you with ur full name. no short no nothin. so he check one of his old paypal and it was greet dear, samatha lavar. so he knew he just loss a new in box jl 1000.1 amp.

sucks but it happens. i rather stick with local. or have the money first before sending.
