Avoiding a stitch up or over cautious?

[Marmalade]

I've tonight had someone purchase a 2000w amp i've had for sale on amazon.
As always with something worth more than a few quid i've done a bit of a hunt and the buyer is not on the electoral register and the address is sheltered housing in between Lambeth and Brixton, London.

I'm just thinking of cancelling the sale as I can see this turning to shit and me losing £180 i can't afford to be losing.

So, send it or keep it?

[lol omg wtf]

I tend to get a contact number and have a chat with them before I commit to buy or sell something of that type of value.

But as you say they have already started to fail the basic checks.

If you want to sell badly then have a chat with them if you can hold out and maybe even sell for a little bit less then that is probably what I would do.

Just bought some leathers for £170 tonight outside ebay purely going on the fact I could see the guy had a nice house a yacht and sounded ok on the phone. I might get stung one of these days but I regard myself as a gambling man!

[P.]

I'd just refund it, you'll find a more genuine/less spidey sense tingling buyer sooner or later

[WannaBeDude]

Was going to say .. deliver it, get him to test it there and then, take your CASH.

Anything seems dodge, leave.

Or sell it on fleabay to a reputable seller uers only.

I would offer to do COD and if they say yeah thats fine then it is, but if an excuse is given that COD is not an option then thats fine to,no loss of sale because it wouldn't have happened anyway.

Take a big dog with you


I've bought all sorts of crap from all over the place and been to some pretty dodgy places. I do wonder sometimes when entering some estates if I should be there alone with cash in my pocket but nothing bad's happened........... yet.

I had a mate sell his genarator through some classifieds. He got a call from someone in Peterborough and when he got there it was a travellers site, (this is where I might have had second thoughts), he ended up getting stoned off the site by a load of kids and they kept his generator and van He got the van back later minus the wheels.

Yeah..............take a BIG fuck off dog, get tooled up....or borrow a couple of mates and don't tell them where you're all going.

I've cancelled the sale. Seems I have no stock

No refund due as amazon don't charge the card until I mark it as sent so even waiting a few days to see if the card payment is revoked isn't an option.
