You won't get any sympathy here just because a train ride scares you.

Spooky

Was it in the small box next to the gold cufflinks that your nan gave you as a christmas prezzie 1998, hidden under the old landrover mags hiding under the bed ?

Are you spying on me?...it was in a box of old tat and there was a well worn copy of LRO porn in the room...

If my nan bought me cuff links in '98 it was from beyond the grave though.

That's strange cos I contacted someone about one on merseyside and was told it was in Clyde naval base from a Jackie reeves. Even offered to deliver it to me.
I think something is a bit dodgy me thinks.

[andyverran]

That's identical, definitely dodgy then....not sure what we can do about it, hope no one gets caught out.

Identical....you might want to report that one too.
Glad you shared that info.

I reported it as a duplicate and referenced the other add.

My email was identical then replyed and got this back.


Hello again
For both of our security we can use ebay, you will have 7 days for inspection after you send the payment to ebay, they will hold the funds until you receive the car and contact them to release the funds to me, please take into consideration that I will get paid only after you receive the car and make sure everything is as agreed. If you are ok with this please provide me with your full name and delivery address. Delivery will take a maximum of 48 hours. There are no problems with the car as far as I know but feel free to get an independent inspection when you receive the car.
Jackie
