Hello, am interested in purchase of this item on eBay? i will like to know if it's available for for sale and its condition. Please get back to me as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Timothy Reiter.

My reply:

As you see it is listed for sale on ebay. It looks very nice but is blown and needs repair. What do you need to know?

So what do? Can I get this guys bogus check and give it to the FBI? Do they give a ****? Can I at least have some Lulz out of this?

I wouldnt even bother. They wont do crap. I'd screw with the guy a bit.

On a side note, time to go look at amps on ebay....

They probably won't do much. I once got a shitload of fake postal M.O.'s, gave them to the post office and they said they'd look into it, but ultimately there's not much they can do.

Kind of what I figured that nobody cares.

Oddly enough I know a guy who got suckered in to one of those and best believe the State police were ALL over his **** for depositing them. Cost him a ton in legal fees and he still got some fines and probation.

Still if there's no legal thing I can do I'll at least waste his time a little.....

will keep you all posted.

I would:

(1) Wait for his check.

(2) See if it will cash when it arrives.

(3) If it is good, mail him the amp.

You know, kinda like selling to ANYONE with a cashiers check or MO.

His reply:

how much are you giving it out?

I'm going to tell him the price I paid for the amp working LULZ

Bets on whether he tries to haggle the price down?

LMFAO If this check is legit I will eat my hat.

Of course no questions asked. I told him XXX$ + shipping. He didn't even ask how much shippin was he said he'll get the check out right away LOL.

In case anyone doesn't know how this works. They send a bogus money order for a few hundred dollars over what you ask and say "oh I really screwed up can you just paypal/western union me a refund?" Then you do, and of course 5 days later your bank tells you that the check is bogus and the state police are kicking down your door.

Also he did not contact me through ebay so I'm sure they don't really care either. I post my email address to my auctions. You would think the guy would know better than to try this sort of thing when I've been on there for 11 years and have 10300+ feedback LULZ

Will try to get **** pics of his sister before all is done.

They'll pay whatever price you ask cause the money is never real.

if this is something you think that is funny or if you think this is a hoax, you should be ashamed of yourself. i can guarantee if you say that in public, people are going to kick your ***. on top of that, this is the prime reason why CA.com'ers are labeled as arrogant jackasses and you are the leading cause of it all, so next time you look in a mirror, think how much it would hurt to have your eyes gouge out and your tongue sheared off, cause quite frankly, i would do so.
