So, be sure you have the money before you part with your treasured possession.

it happens over here also.. whilst we were looking to buy.. there were several either on ebay and also in autotrader that when we contacted them they told us the van was in *spain* (for instance) and that they'd already arranged with a shipper to send the van to the UK.. and that the best way to handle this was for us to give the money to a "3rd party" which they had conveniently already arranged... so that the money would be held until we recieved delivery and had a 7 day trial period with the van !!! YEAH RIGHT !!!!
anyhow.. there are a lot of *SCAMS* out there .. be interesting to know of any others...
