probably a lot. I was goign to send this guy a bucket of elephant crap, but i didnt bother wasting my time.

the mail he sent was hilarious...it said do no wire money to UK (dunno why i would), but they "closed that office down to avoid mail fraud"....it only gave me a name to wire the money to...i mean, it was retarded x15.


the problem is Gary Fischman and his shit ass classified section. If you post on m.net you're guaranteed to get about 17 of these offers.

I know someone who "bought" a Mini for 8000 and thought they were getting a great deal only to lose 8000 dollars.
It was done via Escrow, Wire Transfer etc...
Someone attempted to scam me when I was looking into purchasing a honda...he was an idiot.
