Good morning Listers,
 
Precautionary RANT warning - discard if not interested.
 
I am working on a theory that there are only three kinds of people born every 
minute.  If there is a Fool born every minute then there must be a Wack Job 
born every minute.   And to ensure there is balance in the universe there must 
be a Super Hero born every minute as well to look out for the Fool and bring 
down the Wack Job.
 
I must get a dozen of these emails a week (see below) from nut cases that claim 
to want to buy my Healey (no longer for sale) sight unseen, no questions asked 
and for whatever I'm asking for.  Usually the con man is located in some 
African country that has no paved roads.  We all know how well our cars do on 
unpaved roads right?  
 
This quack claims to be from the UK, seems to struggle with the Queen's English 
- any English for that matter.  Funny how they always are interested in paying 
the LAST PRICE for the car.  I hope he heard the demand for the car has gone up 
so much because of a$$holes like him that I've decided to triple the price in 
hopes of pulling a Kurt Tanner result at BJ.
 
One other notable thing about all this junk mail - Am I the only one in the 
world without their own shipping company?  I mean, seriously... how does 
anything in the world stay in one place when every buyer seems to have their 
own shipping company?
 
Has anyone ever toyed with these bozos?  I should tell him the price has 
tripled and since I work for the post office I'll handle the shipping.  I have 
a bunch of old used parts I wouldn't mind getting rid of.  I can send them to 
him postage due, one piece at a time just for fun.
 
Or maybe I should tell him I've decided to keep the car but he's welcome to 
have my ex-wife and mother-in-law - Now we've got a deal!
 
Damn.... just fell off my soap box.  Happy Monday to All.
 
Cheers,
Carlos
The New Kid on the Left Coast

Hello Seller, 
      My Name is william james. I'm a citizen of United Kingdom ,but I have all 
my business with my family in United State of America . I have the intention of 
purchasing your advert for sale. I'll pay you with a US cheque,and wait for the 
clearance before the pick up arrangement. Concerning the shipping 
arrangement,my shipping company will come for the pick up once the transaction 
has been sealed. If this is okay with you,do get back to me with your LAST 
PRICE so that I can forward the payment to you.
