I ended the discussion (it ended itself) by telling him I would only accept payment through a platform that protected me as a seller, and him as a buyer. No response after that. A part inside of me wants to believe it was a legitimate intent to purchase.
Beware, scammers everywhere
Man, it just doesn’t stop. I list an amp here, and immediately get a response. Some back and forth on price, then it gets fishy. “My partner and I will overnight the payment, we just need name and address. Refuses PayPal, will only send from his/her bank. All this over text, which should have been the first clue.
I suspect the next thing would have been “we accidentally sent the money twice, can you send it back to us?” or something similar. Been down that road before.
None of this was due to the Audiogon platform, scammers find a way to get pretty much anywhere and everywhere. If it seems fishy, run away.

@winerocks , Thanks. @snapsc , I disagree. Everyone has to start with their first purchase. |
@jetter my feedback will always be zero. check for the same name elsewhere. You can figure it out pretty easily.
Having perfect feedback is important. I've said for decades that a man only has one reputation. It takes years to build it and only one bad deal to tarnish it. Back when I had an ebay coin business I had perfect feedback over tens of thousands of transactions but had to bend over backwards a few times. |
