Take a look at this bullshit they sent me:
."Hello,

My 1955 Chevy Nomad is still for sale for the asking price of $3,000.
As you've probably seen on my listing I decided to lower the price, to avoid
wasting time with negotiations and find a buyer as soon as possible.

Now about Chevy, passenger side door good, driver door good but bottom half
of skin need to be replaced roof good no rot both quaters are good passenger
rocker in and out are replaced driver need to be replaced {have both and
both new}. Liftgate good need to be rechromed, glass good Drop gate good.
Floor pan in car o.k.but the section under back seat passenger side needs to
be replaced. from back seat the rear pans are good need to be welded in
place need floor braces on driverside.

I'm currently signed up for a protection program and I would like to close
the deal through them. You should know that it will allow you to inspect the
vehicle before paying me. You will have a 3-5 day inspection period to
decide whether you want to keep the vehicle or not before they release the
funds to me. Even if you pick the vehicle or have it shipped payment must be
submitted using their system, but I assume there is nothing wrong with that.

Where are you located ?

If you have any further questions please email me and I will gladly answer
your questions.

Thank you,
Destiny Bellamy"
