Thats the thing i never mentioned shipping, i just asked if the car was still for sale and thats what i got back, lol
Tell the "seller" that you want to pick up the car today or tomorow, pay cash, and your brother is an executive with American Airlines,so you can be anywhere in the country on very short notice.

"Where do I meet you to get the car?"

I like how you said your brother is an American Airlines guy. Their brothers should meet.

Here is the 2nd email from him after i ask for a phone# and address to come look at the car.

Hello there,

First see the attached pics of the car .[/align]

I would like to close this deal through ebay because in this way we are both protected.eBay will handle this transaction for us and in this way we'll be both protected.

The total price will be $9000with 50% depositin an eBay managed trust fund ( they hold the money until you receive the car), I ship thecar over, you can inspect it, ride it and then you have to send the rest from the total amount.

To set up the transaction through eBay,i need the following details:

1.Your full name.
2.Your full shipping address (i mean where to ship the car).
3.Your ph# - i need this # for the shipping service.
4.Your fax#-so i can fax you the shipping receipt and other papers
regarding the shipping.
5.Your eBay ID (if you are not a eBay member yet, try to make a account ,its easy,just go on www.ebay.com).

After set up the transaction,you will be contacted by ebay with all
the transaction details,payment&shipping instructions,etc.If you are
approved by ebay to purchase the car,you have to follow their
instructions.

Thank you

Does ebay really do that? I don't believe the guy for a second, but why would he use ebay to make it "secure"?
