I just sent him this:

Do you still have the HP Pavilion ZE1250 AMD Athlon 1800+ 512MB you had on eBay? I would really like to get it off of you. What is your asking price, and how can I pay? Also, how do you ship?

Hehe.

Ha! No kidding.

This thread is awesome!

 

[pillage2001]

I think...I shall join in the fun too.

 

[datalink7]

Someone write him and ask him if he ships to Easter Island

If he does, ask him if he can guarentee 2nd day shipping

 

[DaFinn]

LMAO @ this thread...

Someone should email him asking:

"I hear you have infinite amount of laptops with a tower and a mouse! And that you can ship free of charge, anywhere in the world in 2 days! I also hear you accept WU as a payment! As it happens I have over 1000 WUs in Seti@Home account which I can transfer to you if you send me 1 laptop!

Let me know soonest!"

Danut,

I am very sorry. I had an urgent business call and had to leave before I
received this email. I was thus not able to get to the Western Union office
on time. Please let me know if the item is still available, as I know you
said you were in a hurry to get the money.

Thanks,
Paul

Paul,

You know that you are so lucky. I almost gave this laptop to someone else. Now that you came with the answer, I will be a man of my word an sell it to you. Just go to the WU and send the amount.

Thank you.

I will get back to you after you send me the email with the information I requested.

Thank you and good luck with the Wu.

Regards,
Danut

 

[stev0]

bah. sounds like he is getting the idea that somene is playing with him

 

[crypticlogin]

So will Romanian police get involved if a guy shows up to claim a Western Union payment with fake payment info? :Q

Remind me never to scam any of you.

 

[dman]

Ironically, I bet there is a Romanian forum where they are posting ideas and talking about how easy it is to scam Americans and this guy is probably having fun posting there.

His response to my "grandchildren" question (lol, I don't even have kids /me knocking on wood):

Hello Sir,

I still have the laptop. Someone tried to scam me on eBay. Fortunatelly
I was announced by eBay not to sell the laptop to that buyer and I kept
it.

The price is $900. I will shipi it to you free if you are going to wire
the money using Western Union and do it today or tomorow, as other off
eBay buyers are wainting.

Your grand kids will enjoy this great piece at a small price for you.

Give me your answer.

Thank you,
Danut

My response:
Danut sir,
I know I'm asking so much. But I went to the store today and I saw something like what you are selling for $1100. I've got three grandchildren, and their birthdays are only months apart. Do you know where I could find 2 more laptops like these at your price? I really do not want them to fight over one computer.

I found a western union office in the next city, so it wouldn't take me long to mail you the money.

Thanks again for your patience.

PS - I really hope you haven't given it to someone else yet. Please!!!


I think the "please" is such a nice touch of an old man's desperation, n'est ce pas?

He just sent me this email:
Hello Ed,Yes I still have the laptop.

You can only pay for this one by sending the money using the Western Union. I will ship it with the UPS 2 days air delivery.

The price is $1000 includin free shipping and I will pay half of the WU fee. Just keep it from the actual amount.

Please tell me if this is OK, and I will give you the details.

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Danut


I said, Ok, I am interested, give me your info. Hehe....
