S.C.A.M..... ..... .... All the local auctioneers in my area, are refusing to accept casheirs checks (cheques...HA) Seems that they are the latest method of operation for scammers, and rip-off artists. First off, doesn't it seem odd that they never ask about the condition of what you're trying to sell? They just want it, no questions asked. Secondly, they always seem to be buying it for someone else. Possible, but unlikely. I have had several "replies" on low dollar items, say under $250, that I've listed in adds. Why on GOD's green earth would someone offer more than my asking price, then pay huge shipping cost's to ship it overseas, when the same items are still available in their part of the world? I follow the old axiom, If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If you want to take a chance on them, just tell them to show up with U.S. cash ONLY. See how quick the "offer" is withdrawn. Unfortunately, this website draws as many nuts, thieves, con artists, and scammers as it does good people, interested in tractors and farm equipment. Don't feel alone. We've all got our share of scam replies. Some even look almost OK. Be carefull. There's a world full of loonies out there, just wanting your hard earned money. John
