Just found a Sugino 400 crankset attatched to a very nice frame going really cheap

The seller doesnt do paypal and has suggested cash which is awkward as its a sleepy backwater overseas. $:-\$

What do you lot do in this sort of situation, do you have a monetary limit you are willing to take a risk with, send a cheque, etc or do you just walk away $:-\$

She does... yes

Clint, offer her an instant bank transfer or pay by credit card. You are insured this way and she gets the money pretty much instantly

I wouldn't

mmmmmmm ive been there myself and walked away, i think it all depends if you can afford to lose the money.

Definitely a bit too risky for my liking Clint....

Still risky. No insurance with bank transfer.

Suggest that they set up a PP account.

Have you got any family/friends/contacts in this country?

oldschoolace · « **Reply #14 on:** July 31, 2013, 08:53 PM »

Cheers for the response guys. No way i'm sending cash.
Something about the image seemed familiar and i just found another frame she has on french ebay with the same background and she accepts paypal

Hoping its just got a bit lost in translation as she doesnt speak English and my French is rusty

Just use google translator Clint.....then copy and paste the text into a message. When she replies just copy and paste her text into the translator and hey presto....a sudden fluency of the french tongue doth happen

I do use it for the odd word Gav but the moment you try and construct sentences its useless

Je bollox I reckon, I had the same thing last year with some bars I walked away and got a even better deal on another set!

Send her this Clint. It will help her decide mate

J'ai un très petit pénis mais je sais que ce sera entrer une partie de votre corps et, avec elle, je voudrais laisser une caution pour les manivelles et le cadre.

Serait-ce bien la place d'argent?
