i put the word out that i was looking for a team 139. this guy replied that he had a new one for $45.00 u.s.d. i have had several email conversations with him. i said ok and agreed to pay with paypal.....seller wrote :{i would love to use paypal but for the moment i need to have the paypal acount clear....i am opening an internet store and the pesrson who is making the site has acces to my paypal acount and i do not want to make any deals with it until i change the password and the site is ready...i think a wire transfer will be gret...so let me know your shipping address....full name and middel name,country,zipcode,city...make sure when you send it that it is corect... get back to me if we have a deal}

You know what they say, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Markster, please send me the $45 instead. At least this way we will know that the money is being well spent. I can even provide an itemized receipt illustrating how the $45 is spent. As Cary said, "if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is." Peace be the journey!

Total scam. Ask him for his ip address and I'll tell you where the emails are coming from. My bet is not US.

Wire transfers are almost ALWAYS a scam. If he is legit he will offer an alternative.

hahahaha he asked for your country?! Dont know about you but I stay away from sellers who A. ask what country I am in and then B. ask for a wire xfer. Sounds like a scam but for 45$ its worth at least checking out. I like what randy has in mind.
