[doc] Re: A bit of advice and info -

["Joe OBrien" <joeyoseppijoe@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've watched Deloreans for years on eBay, and I can always spor when 
a scammer uses a photo from another auction. And I make sure I tell 
them, & report them to eBay. These photos have never been used 
before, and I believe this to be a legitimate auction. Not like the 
recent scams where someone sell a car for a ridiculous price only 
because they want to ship the car from Nigeria AFTER you send them 
the check. Just ask for a few frame, engine, & general wear area 
photos. Any seller that actually wants to sell a car should have no 
problem supplying them. If he balks, then walk away. You'll find one 
eventually. Took me 4 years of watching them till I found the 
perfect ones for me. I'd never be able to get ones like I did again, 
I've tried a third time, but had to sell it due to it being a basket 
case. But I walked away with two perfect ones after years of 
watching them.

Best of luck,

view yourself. However, there currently is a car listed which 
purports to be the first DeLorean in Canada - item no: 2488135857

the car for 30 days with only a $1000.00 deposit with the balance 
due once shipping is sorted. The vendor seems honest, but as we know 
not everybody is...

obviously I don't want to get stung once full payment is sent and 
flying out to Saskatchewan within the 30 days to complete the 
transaction is also unrealistic for me at this time.
