sleeplessparadise:
Ok so I just googled the guys address and this is what it brought up http://www.skytopscooter.com/ if you are worried try contacting them direct ?
v8kenny:
Check out his website at skytoprover.com - I think he is genuine enough but you are right to be wary
He has bid on several landies recently - a 110V8 ending on 30/05/06 and he stopped bidding at £1700
Also a stage 1 V8 ending on 29/05/06 - although the highest bidder the reserve was not met
Personally I would take the wire transfer - giving out your account no. and sort code is no more than what info is on any cheques you write
Unless you have a trackable means of postage (!) then anyone can do a chargeback on paypal and they ALWAYS come down on the side of the buyer,you should NEVER accept payment this way for any motor unless you really trust the guy
Good luck !
jjsaul:
go open a bank account somewhere...get it wired into there, withdraw the cash and close the account ;)
that way you cant lose out and they can never claim the money back out of the account cos it doesnt exist
just a thought....
Dirty Gertie:
Personally, I'd ask for payment by banker's draft, and not allow collection until it's cleared and you've withdrawn the cash from the account!! That name "Gabor S. Antalics" looks HIGHLY dodgy to me!!
Although a google on his name comes up with this: http://www.skytoprover.com/roverfreedom.htm
So maybe he is genuine; don't blame you for being sus tho!!
Evilgoat:
This sounds lik a failry common variation of thge classic scam. He pays you, youpay collector and his cheque/payment bounces.
DONT accept it, tell him to sort out a draft/transfer. Explain to him what he is proposing is too similar to a common form of Ebay fraud and you're sorry but ths is the way it has to be done.
If he's genuine he will understand.
Get references anyway.
