Do NOT READ if you do not use

This is a warning to my readers.  Over the last year I have bought six cars 
on eBay.  The first, was like this, a second chance buy from someone who 
(when I investigated) turned out to be an award  winning drug prosecutor in 
Pendleton, Oregon.
I went down to get the car and am driving it today.
This was a second chance offer to buy a 1953 Chevy which I wanted to join my 
other 1953 Chevy Sheriff's car.
You have to start at the bottom and read up to get the flow but it is a scam 
for sure.  The actual car is in Bremerton and was not sold because the 
reserve price was not met.
The standard in these case is to send off a PAYPAL deposit of $300.  (I have 
done it without thought six times) and if this person had just sent it to me 
with a request for a $300 PayPal deposit, I think I would have sent it 
without a second thought.
