I am going to list my truck on e-bay shortly and thought I would try to get it sold quick. I will start it at 22k for bid. I had it listed for 28k. Offer me something more than 22k but less than 28k. All serious offers will be considered. Partial trades + cash also considered. Would like a 96 or 97 crew cab 4wd and cash, but any 7.3 truck and cash considered.
Well, I had a guy come over to look at the truck and he offered me 17k cash and pulled the money out of this lunch box he was carring. I said sorry, cant go that low. He say, well all the paperwork is complete, here is a bill of sale I wrote up and conditions of the sale, all you have to do is sign it and the cash is yours. I took it from him and looked at it and wouldn't you know it he had my name, vin off the truck the date and me agreeing to sell it to him for the 17k. I looked at himand said, sorry no sale and thanks but no thanks have a great day. This guy then pulls his cell phone out and says I am calling the police, you agreed on the price you gave me this bill of sale and I want my truck. He dials 911. I am amazed and shocked. So I enter my house, call and have units rolled to my house, grab my BADGE and GUN walk out the door to the garage and he is talking to the dispatcher. I hear him say, this guy took my 17k, threatened me and he is scared for his life. He turns around to see me standing there with my BADGE and GUN in hand and says. "****, I have to let you go now", hangs up and says, can I get my money and leave. I say absolutley not, turn around and get on your knees. Needless to say, he went for a ride in a police car. Thought I would share with all of you........
Just got back from the PD and he is a parole violator, wanted for poss of stolen property, and now three new charges. Looks like he will remain in custody for the parole violation and the warrant for poss stolen property and now the new charges. And who says criminals are smart........
That guy is an idiot and his scam is about as ridiculous as they come. I bet he about sh!t in his pants when he saw you were an officer. :hehe:
Awesome truck btw.
that is the best story I have heard in a long time. Very cool that he got what was coming for him. pat on the back to you. Good luck on the sale, nice truck
