You need to look at their feedback and their standing etc. If they have been paid up a member of SAU or some similar club for a few years and people know them and can vouch for them. Even then it is still not without risk. If you are still unsure, ask them to list them on ebay with a buy it now option and use paypal.

If ever unsure, walk away. You could also try buying from a business, but even thats no gaurantee.

Otherwise you have to drive across this big brown land and do it face to face.

Had a issue once. Failing to keep up his end of the bargain

Googled his phone number. Found other items he was advertising.

Got the girlfriend to call and pretend to be interested. Got an address.

Silly boy.

the piper can be an impatient man.

Sorry but this isn't going anywhere, and no-one here can help.

Contact the Police, they are your only real option.

In the future, do not blindly EFT money to someone that you have not seen/known. That's just silly.

I mean would you walk upto someone random person in the street and give them $500 and tell them to give you something in a week - when you have NO other details? Sounds kinda silly now doesn't it? As that's exactly what you have done.

End of the day, buyer beware. Bet you are kicking yourself for not driving 2 hours.
