oh, and then I've gotten two shady long-distance requests recently where they want to pay for it but will "send their brother-in-law to get it when he's in my area in two weeks". ya, no.
Infuriating.
Or the "I'll send my driver with a check, money order or similar" I just answer send your driver with cash and never hear from them again. Scammers, most are pretty easy to see. One of my first sales was to a guy in Nashville (I'm in WI) I looked at his profile and he owned an architectural salvage business which was the items he was looking at . Otherwise I'm leary of out of state inquiries on larger items that aren't exactly put in a box and ship.
