He’s hit up every seller who’s listed their email on the forum. I think their are several threads about “amme”. The guy’s a scumbag

I always love the one who start out by saying .. "I want to buy it for my father in law, brother, brother in law, cousin" The best one I ever got was back in 2010 or 2011 when I listed a AK on craigslist (first and last time I ever made that mistake) and the guy told me he was in Afghanistan in some foreign military and wanted to buy my AK for his secret boyfriend in Nigeria as a surprise birthday gift. I purposely listed the watch 500 more than what I was willing to take so there would be room for negotiating. He never once wanted to get it for a lower price, and he insisted I remove the listing right away and wanted my contact info so he could send me paypal right away.
My ad clearly stated that I was only accepting cash (it was a local sale) and that I would only meet at the Sheriff's Office (they have a district office close to my residence) unless the buyer wanted to meet at the local AD for piece of mind to make sure the watch was real. I haven't had anyone send me a message with a link to click, but I haven't listed anything to sell here since 2011 or 2012. With all the scammers, I'm not sure I would want to sell to anyone other than a watch dealer. My only thing is though .... I will never sell to Bob. I read a very long thread about Bob, only after I contacted them to see about trading a watch, and I was insulted not only at their offer to buy, but their selling price which they said they couldn't lower because they are the lowest around. They were the lowest alright, the lowest in their offer for my watch lol. |

The scammers make it bad for those of us who are looking to buy and sell and trade. They make it so that the thought of hunting or selling in order to go on a hunt is no longer enjoyable. |
