Hot Rods DOES ANYONE KNOW "Longislandvic"

Had a phone conversation with a fella who said his HAMB handle was Long Island Vic and has been on here for a long time, interested in buying items I have advertised here. I couldn't find him in the member directory, maybe I spelled wrong? Also I mentioned I only accept Paypal, and after a pause he said he didn't have it but his buddy "Joey" would use his Paypal to send payment before I ship. Now I'm not new to buying/selling online but how does this smell to you guys???

As long as you get paid I wouldn't worry about it. HRP

 

Sounds like you might get the “Long Island Dick” .

All I am going to say is that we probably have as many "members" who scope out the classifieds on a regular basis who never (badge of honor among them it seem) never look at the board.

 

Thanks Flamedabone for that link.
I gotta admit that seeing Vic having been a member since'02 and having over 2700 posts makes me feel better. He mentioned computer problems, perhaps that explains lack of recent posts. Thanks guys.

USPS Money Order.......only! PayPal can and will recover the money if any complaint is lodged by the ‘buyer’. Seriously.

See the current thread.....”Does this smell like a scam”. I am quite surprised the majority of responders to that thread have not inundated this thread

I sold him a set of 'slugs' (as he called my pistons) years ago. Smooth transaction. He's a character for sure.
IRRC he went through a bout with caner, too. That kept him away for quite a while.

 

Thanks for the additional comments guys. At this point I plan to box things up, get the cost of shipping and provide Vic a total.

 

Try the Ford Barn, he may post there. Sounds familiar.
