So much easier just buying/selling interstate on here.. Burners have more skin in the game than bookface and dumbtree..
Yeah definitely, but with the other 2, at least fakebook has a personal account with your relatives, friends and all that shit on display. If someone has their account all locked up, no friends visible, no pictures or even joined up in the past few months, I would certainly not be sending them big $$$ by bank transfer.
Scumtree, any clown can set up an account with nothing personal attached.
I have bought 5 bikes from interstate through fakebook ads in the last few years, all but 1 were shipped by the seller with me sending cash upfront.
The other, I had a great Idea I would drive to Melbourne, pick it up, ride You Yangs and drive back the next day... shit got all busy that week and I couldn't stay the night, so rather than mess the seller around with shipping when they were expecting me there with cash the next day, I called them and arranged for them to bring the bike over from the eastern suburbs and meet me in Bacchus Marsh at midday, 10 mins later i was on my way back to Adelaide, 1300km round trip and 15hr drive, 4am depart, arrived home at 7:30pm
