double06andthreequarters 0 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 My wife registered on here and was looking to buy an air gun! She found what seemed to be a good deal in Ashford, but we have encountered some problems. He says we can pick it up but he wants a deposit of £100. No problem there, but suddenly his address has moved from Ashford to Strood, the postcode he has given is not for the street address he has stated and he will not provide any phone numbers, we could do with some advice here, how should we proceed? He is also darned slow in replying to any private messages we leave! Only seems to be on in the mornings! Quote Link to post

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Sounds like good advice, should the OP report it to the mods? I forgot to suggest that! Quote Link to post

double06andthreequarters 0 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) So the general view is about as straight as a nine quid note? This will upset the wife, she sold her gun to get this! Edited March 30, 2011 by double06andthreequarters Quote Link to post

Who is the person you are dealing with here? Quote Link to post
TheMaskedBrit 0 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Walk away mate, another will come up. Quote Link to post
ftm 3,357 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 steer well clear mate sounds a bit dodgy Quote Link to post
Tomm Parr 30 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Bin it and start afresh. You wouldn't buy a car off a man in a layby rather than at his house would you? If he can't meet you at his proper address its dodgy as f**k. Sorry mate Quote Link to post
