His email address he sent me is buyerstore90@look.com

well, eBay has now cancelled his bid but my auction is gone (along with the 22 people who were watching it) I think it would have been sold but now have to go thru the whole process of relisting it...etc..etc.

So, tell me what do you think we should do about this guy ?

a - shoot this guy

b - boil him in hot oil

c - tie his sorry ass to the back of my car and drag this sad sad sack from Toronto to Buffalo

d - send him to Iraq and make him an Iraqi policeman (rebels can then take care of him for us !?)

Hey Fave One...I live in Rochester, NY but worked in Scarborough, Ontario for 2 years. I've visited Newmarket on a few occasions. Looks like a real nice place to live. I have a good friend who lives in Newmarket. His name is Matt Chianelli. Would you happen to know him?

Hi Pat...sorry to say but I don't know Matt. I've been here 7 yeaqrs and the place has gone from 60,000 people to 72,000 .. talk about exploding growth !!

Fave..Wow! I haven't been there in about 3 years, but I know it was a growing community. Hopefully I'll be able to return to Canada to visit someday soon. I really like Canada. Its a beautiful country and the majority of the people are very friendly.

I had an opportunity to travel North of Toronto to Peterborough and the Cawarthra Lakes. Beautiful area! Pristene lakes.

Pat

There are always scams about selling cars for some reason and the weird thing is is that EVERY one I have seen says they are from South Africa. I think it's all the same person or group of people.
If anything says South Africa then they are either trying to rip you off or have some disease (haha if you know what I mean).

If you put it up for auction again, state " no forgen (sp?) buyers, no brokers, only first party buyers. Paypal or US Postal money orders. "

that may help you out.
