Lately, I've gotten a few out of the blue e-mails and pm's from folks looking to sell me stuff I have mentioned looking for or happen to discuss that I own in past threads. Not really a big deal. Good way to hustle to make a buck providing me with something I may want or need.
However, the last one I just got is a little strange. Guy e-mails me saying he left me a pm about selling me his dad's Bally BMX because he saw in VAPS it was on my want list. I go to KLOV and read my pm which basically says, "Hey my dad wants to sell this, I saw you were looking, he doesn't want to much for it, I had to join and pay two bucks to send you this". Well, I e-mail him back and tell him that I'm trying to buy a house right now and cash is tight but how much are you guys looking to get and where is the pin located. I get an e-mail back tonight saying "No sweat man. I have a few other people I'm talking to so it's really no issue.
If I do sell it I'll let you know!"
So basically, he went through all this trouble and time waste to get in touch with me over essentially nothing. For something he either really has no interest in actually selling or does and probably has no clue what the value is so he wants me to throw out a blind offer to someone I've never met who has no references on a machine I've never seen.
Just curious if anyone else has gotten any of these recently or otherwise.
