I have been jacking with these people all weekend.
First off, I contacted them by email and told them I was only few miless from them and had CASH in hand!
They replied that I would have to sign into ebay and deposit the money then pick up the trailer for inspection.
I told them that I had no ebay account and would be happy to meet them their bank.
Now they are telling me that the trailer was shipped to FL. for storage until sold and would be ready for shipping.
I told them that was great I have family in FL and was fixing to take a summer to to spend time with them.
Now the trailer is not for sale!
GO FIGURE!

Now the dead beats just emailed me back with this info:
Hi again, The horse trailer is already at the shipping company in Orlando, FL(i moved here after divorce) sealed and ready for the shipping. I have a contract with eBay so this deal must go through them. I'm very busy with my job so this is the reason why I chose to sell my horse trailer over the internet. According with the eBay you have 5 days from the time you receive the horse trailer to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not. Here is how it will work: 1.First of all I will need the following details from you: - Full Name - Full Shipping Address 2. After I will receive the details from you, I will forward them to eBay. 3. After they will process your info, they will send us both invoices. The invoice will send you the details on how to make a refundable payment. 4. eBay will contact me and I will ship the horse trailer to you. After you receive the it you will have 5 days to test, verify and do whatever you need to the horse trailer. If you will buy, then I will receive the payment details from eBay so that I can pick up the money. 5. If you will decide that you will not buy the horse trailer, eBay will refund the money and I will have the shipping company come pick up my horse trailer. If you wish to make the transaction, please send me the necessary info so that we can proceed. Thank you,
So, since I have nothing else to do today I will keep on jacking with them.....

That is a good laugh. But here is what kind of takes me for a loop, people are dumb enough out there that would fall for this and pay for it. Hope no one on here ever has.

Sad but true. Got another notice last week that someone gave a scammer $2900. That was the total amount for a nearly new LQ.
That's WHY they don't give up... Troll long enough for stupid and greedy people for a fat pay off.
Yes ...I said stupid and greedy. paying $2900. "total amount for a nearly new LQ" sight unseen.
Similarly...
I know many fishing enthusiasts that will patiently endure biting flies, hot - cold - raining weather, pay a bunch of money for the thrill of a big fish on their line.

I will try and find out. That would be a great option! I sent them another email last night asking for the vin number and or a copy of the title so I can get my insurance ready. Waiting on reply.

Ya know what, if someone is so stupid to send some yea-who across the country $2,900 for a $30,000 trailer then maybe it's a lesson well learned. I can't believe that anyone stupid enough to do that could ever have the $2,900 to begin with.
