SDC 2300 with 40 batteries (Melbourne)

You can sent it C.O.D. with Aus post that way the buyer pays, when he picks it up he cannot get it until its paid for it can be insured and you get a money order from the post office where its picked up from .I have sent detector all over Aus plus received some and have not had any troubles this may help the insurance is a big bonus and regards john :Y:

Still available, but I will just add that if you want a copy of my drivers licence, if you want me to post the goods before you make payment, or if you want to use some some strange cash on delivery scheme, please don't bother messaging me.

I actually emailed someone a copy of my drivers licence after he did the same... Then heard no more from him about the sale which was going on. Then, 2 months later, a bank sent me a letter asking me to call said bank urgently about the account that I have with them.

Problem was that I had never dealt with that bank in my life.

I thought it may have been a scam, and was going to throw the letter away, but after checking their letter against their website, I have them a call.

So I called the bank up and it turned out that the guy who I had emailed a copy of my licence to had applied for a substantial personal loan using my identity. He used a different phone number and email address, of course.

Lucky they got suspicious and sent me that letter...

Yeah, the scam with a drivers licence is that they get a copy of someone elses and then proceed to use it to lull buyers for other goods into sending the money because, hey, look, here is "my" drivers licence. Do a google search for 'drivers licence gumtree scam' and go to news section and there is just truckloads of identity fraud.

So, yeah, I would not be scanning and sending your licence to anyone online whether you are the buyer or seller, you're just asking for trouble.

Yes, I asked if you would consider COD as I thought this would have covered both you and myself cazalla, sending that money off to someone I have never met made me feel ill. That's a lot of money for most people. I understand it made you feel uncomfortable and I can accept your reasons for not wanting to. I respect your decision and seeing what shifty1 had to say it seems as though it is not as fullproof you would expect.

I wish you a happy, speedy sale.

It's nothing personal kurra, but I don't know you and you're new to the forum and I've dealt with similar issues with 6 buyers so far, if it was sub $250 I wouldn't be near as bothered, it is just easy to hang tight and maybe someone local to Melbourne will be interested at some point, no rush at the end of the day.

Honestly, If I had the funds this would have gone real quick.
Too many bills atm.

Might pay to involve a third party ? Buyer pay a dealer dealer sends machine ? If your buying a Z I should imagine a dealer would do that ? That way both parties are assured of not getting stitched :Y:

Not a bad approach if you consider a dealer you might buy a Zed from, see if they will act as a broker.

Maybe consider a price drop as one sold in less than a day just recently. As far as payment and a buyers location goes you might want to make a deal meeting them halfway. Payment in person is best but EFT is about as secure as you can get then buyer pays COD for delivery at a post office, this gives you the opportunity of a broader buyers market.

Is this machine advertised elsewhere.

I want to pay cash as well but the seller wont accept notes due to possibly being forgeries.

Would you take $1 coins mate?

I already got a Z back in April, so no not like I need to sell this to fund that.

No, it's not advertised elsewhere.

Hard Luck, please go and troll elsewhere, I already said cash is fine on the provision you deposit it into the local bank branch instead of handing it to me, if you want to accept large amount of 50's, that's your business, but don't try and bait for responses in my for sale thread.

The 2300 is now sold, mod can mark as sold if need be.
