Message	I've had a long classified ad for my car on my web site for years. I use it mainly as a description of the car. I don't list a price. So this dude E-mails me and wants to know how much I will take for the car. I throw a high ball number back at him ($19,000) and he writes back that he considers that price a *bargain.* Hmmm. Also, the reason he gives for wanting to buy a Z changes totally from his first E-mail to his second, lol, he couldn't keep his stories straight. So he wants to see the car *right away.* As soon as I tell him I will meet him somewhere other than my house all his correspondence stopped. Prob obvious to some, but don't be tricked into giving out your address to a stranger who may want to steal your Z.
