Just a point of interest- I currently have a Rega Maia 3 listed in the free Asylum classifieds. Last week I was contacted via email by a gentleman who requested further details about the piece; I provided them and confirmed the asking price. Two days later I recieved a check for about 4 times the asking price, FedExed overnight from Osaka, Japan. Suspecting foul play, I called the bank the check was drawn on and was told it was worthless, and that the account was currently under investigation as a scam. Clearly,there are amillion variations on this theme.

I wondered how this played out. I have had ten such approaches and told them to get lost. nt - Norm 06:47:26 05/02/07 (0)
