They ususaly operate on a honor code. And if they feel you treat them fair
they reciprocate.

they are all over this one.

Will:
Though I could use the money as I have some major unexpected vehicle
expenses (need a new engine) I am not in a rush to get ripped off. At this
point I don't care if it sells or not. I'll pay my debts of with honest work
over time. A principle these type of folks seem to be unfamiliar with. I am
quite familiar with the Nigerian millionaire dead relative scam. I ususaly
respond to them with a note about their contact info having been forwarded
to Interpol and wish them a happy life with a nasty room mate in crowbar
hotel.
I have only listed this kayak on the Paddlewise list serve, and the Qajaqusa
BB so I figure he must have come across my advert on one of the two. And if
he did, he likely came across others there as well. My point is to raise the
red flag for others seeing the name.
