I spoke with that seller via email.
He refuses to accept anything short of postal money orders or cashier's check.
He will not accept a wire transfer, has no home address and claims to be working on a construction site in Buffalo.
He has a construction consulting company, under the same name, MarXway which he registered in Las Vegas two years ago. He also provided an address in Edmonds, Washington, which turns out to be a mail boxes place.
I requested more information prior to sending payment and he went off on a rant that I was engaging in character assasination and that he did not need me and he had plenty of other customers here he will contact once his suspention is lifted, I guess it's timed?
I would be very cautious of mailing money to someone in Buffalo, who has a LLC registered in Vegas, but provides a home address of a private PO box in Washington.
I'm going to pass on this one, too much risk, on a seller who listed the item for months on Buffalo's Craigslist, to never complete a transaction. Then on two occassions tried to run eBay style auctions here.
He has an eBay account but refuses to list the item there, BECAUSE you have to accept an electronic form of payment like Paypal.
His phone number is a Verizon cell based in Seattle. He is unmarried and has no children or real estate assets to track him down to later if necessary.
He said he would ship the guitar a few weeks after receiving payment, when he could "get around to it".
His name is Mark Shawn and his email is "marky mark".
