I wanted to let you know that the car isstill available, i had a buyer but his loan did not get approved.Please let me know asap if youare still interested , here is a link with morephotos: http://markcoleman.i8.com/Beetle/?thumb=1At this time the car is in Helena, MT with me and we can use the eBayVehicle Purchase Protection service to handle this deal if you’re notable to come pick this up. Please let me know if you have any questions, forsome reasons your previous email did not load on my screen. Thank you,Mark Coleman, TSgt, USAF

Hello,
This Volkswagen Beetle is a real ‘head turner’ and it will make you proud, it is in excelent condition,
never been involved in accidents, clean and clear title,
no mechanical problems, no smells and odors, no rust, no leaks,mileage: 53,000 miles,VIN: 3VWCM21Y84M307739, power options all functional and it will need nothing in the near future.
I inherited it from my aunt who had health issues and took great care of this car, always garaged and never offroad.
We are in a training mission here until 4th of October but if you’re not able to pick this up I have some great news for you.
The shipping will take 4-5 days thru DAS and it will be free, my previous buyer already paid for it and DAS didnt want to refund him so
I have the car sealed at DAS terminal ready to be shipped out. If we cannot meet face2face I would like to use ebay motors vehicle purchase
protection to take care of this deal, smooth and safe. Let me know if you have any other questions, hope i didnt miss anything.

Here is how it works if you have never used eBay vehicle purchase protection program. You send me your full name and your shipping address so I can initiate the transaction on eBay.eBay contacts you with further details regarding the payment and shipping process.You submit the payment to eBay, eBay confirms the payment and asks me to release the shipment.I ship the car which should be at your door within the next 5 business days.You have a 3 days inspection period before you confirm the deal and eBay forwards the payment to me or you cancel the deal and you get your money back and return the vehicle free of charge. Basicaly ebay holds your money safe until you confirm that the car is what you have expected and you want to buy it. It is not a sight unseen deal. On the other hand I can ship the car nowing ebay has your money and you wont dissapear with my Beetle. We are both covered.Sorry for the long emails I have tried to touch all bases.
Thank you,

…this guy was persistant too!

His email response as follows:
“Hello ,

I attached the Carfax report and the pictures to this e-mail.
I want to tell you that I am not selling this car for profit or due to lack of money. All I can say is that some recent events in my life made me change my perception of certain things, things that I’ve considered important in the past. I will donate all money to charity after I sell this car. I am currently on a trip for UNICEF.
The transaction will be made through eBay company for the safety of both of us. I’ve already included the car into eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection, so I will sell it only through this program.
Here is how the process works:

- you give me your shipping address,
- I start a transaction on eBay Motors,
- they send you the payment instructions,
- you send the money into eBay trust account,
- they confirm me that they received the funds,
- I ship the car,
- you receive the car and approve them to pay me,
- they send me the money.
You’ll receive the car papers along with the car.
They will hold the money until the car is delivered to you, with properly executed title. You will have 5 business days for inspection. If the car is not like described you will have to ship it back at the end of the 5 business days on my expense, but I am sure that you will love it.

In order to move forward I will need your full name and address.

eBay will get in touch with you with further details and instructions.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Dennis”

Hello,

The asking price is $24,000 and you have some pics attached to this e-mail.I want to use eBay for this transaction and I have set up everything necessary for delivery for a “buyer” who failed for a loan and now I have the car on shipping co. possession along with all doc. All I need to do is to confirm delivery address to shipping co. and the car will be on that way.

If you agree on that way then we can have the ball rolling… as I said this deal is going to be done through eBay motors,I can send details if you wish.

also his other email snead77ed@netzero.com

Although this care is more than $10,000 below blue book and is an extremely popular model; I came close to moneygram him 1/2 of the money before I read this page. thanks.
this is a copy of an e-mail from the so-called seller.

As we talked before, we will complete the deal in person in US. For this I will have to return in the states to bring you the car with all it’s papers. I don’t want to be rude or something like this, but to be sure that I don’t come back for nothing in the states and that you are going to buy it for sure and you have the money to do this, my proposal is , that you need to make the payment of $5,900, NOT TO ME, but to a 3rd party service. I would like to use eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection Program like a 3rd party for the payment because eBay will protect us. I paid them fees for that and now I am enrolled in this program.
Look how they work:
1. Both parties agree to terms of the transaction sale price and number of days for the Buyer’s inspection.
2. They will draw up a Payment invoice, send it to you approved by their legal representative and me the seller.
3. You will have to submit the payment, as instructed in the Payment Invoice, to their agent in US in maximum 48 hours after you will receive the payment details. The money will remain at them until you receive, inspect and accept the car.
4. You have a number of 3 days for an inspection and the option to accept or reject the vehicle.
5. If you accept the vehicle, they will forward the payment to me after you inform them to do so.
If you dislike the vehicle for any reason, they will refund you in FULL in maximum 48 hours and I will take back the car. If we start this now we can finish in 3 days top.
If you want to go on with this deal , e-mail me with your complete name and full address to start this process because I do have other interested buyers and I need to sell this beauty asap.
Please note that the car was listed on craigslist and not on eBay! I am just using the eBay Protection Program offered by eBay.

Have a great day!

here the listing
Hi and thank you for contacting me regarding my boat for sale. First of all I need to let you know that this is a one owner boat. The boat was meticulously maintained since I purchased it. This boat is in great shape and will make anyone proud to own. The gel coat has a very nice shine and is in very good shape. Compression was checked last week when the boat has been serviced, no problems found. If you recognize any problem, no matter how picky you may be, I will pay for it.

Also this is a fresh water boat, I just used it in Pyramid Lake here in Nevada.

Please note that there is a misprint on the boat trader add, I live in Sparks, NV. I hope this is not a problem for you because for my asking price I will offer free delivery anywhere in US.

You have more pictures here:

So sorry for my late reply but due some personal problems I wasn’t able to handle the car sale. Please let me know if you are still interested in the car! The car has a clear title, is in an excellent condition, no dents or scratches, it was always garaged and regular maintenance and oil changes were done in time. Hasn’t been involved in an accident or flood damage. The motor runs very well. You know the price but if you want extra photos and Carfax report just let me know! I don’t want to offend you but the car is priced for a fast sale so please if you intend to apply for a loan or financing do not reply.
