I have listed a MG for sale for a friend of mine, and he has had at least
two different people agree to purchase it sight unseen. They are both

foreign countries, supposedly collectors of older Guzzis, and seem to have
people here that will ship the bike for them. One is offering a bit more
than the asking price, the other agreed to have a cashiers check delivered
to the owner, that is well above the asking price due to money owed to the
buyer by "client" here in the states, if the seller agrees to send the
difference back to him.

This sounds incredibly fishy to me, but maybe there are collectors who

like this? Don't want the guy to miss out on a sale, but seems pretty
strange to me. Anybody ever seen this?

The e-mail messages are in broken English, so I may be losing a bit there,
but not much.

Thanks,
David Szenasy
