NO dont let him get YOUR FEET WET
dont know diddly bout boats and talking money already

[joker??]

sounds like one of those eastern european rip offs

[Predictable Bob]

Sounds like a perfectly legitimate enquiry to me ......

By the way, are you interested in buying a battleship ?

Only one careful owner (and one not quite so careful)

Why does someone not fleece the fleecers... Like advertise a boat with a high price to ensure no genuine bids. Directly stating that delivery to central europe or middle of africa is no problem... When they pay you the dodgy cheque lodge it into a brand new account and move it very quickly before bank finds out its a fake ??? easy money...

I AM NOT A CRIMINAL !!!!!

its just a thought...

You probably would be if you attempted to use the alleged money !

[internetsurfer]

they aint been on a boat , nor even had a look at yours and they speak of how to pay you. smells of bull$$$$ to me all over.

Years ago I had a Lotus Sunbeam for sale in the E&M, 10pm at night I get a call from a bloke who wants to come round straight away and buy it cos he wanted to give it to his brother for a trackday in the morning. DREAM ON SON! If I'd told them where I live I would have woken up to no car. God almighty, I wasn't brought up in Peckham South London and learnt nothing about the ways of the world!

[Dunno]
