Lol !
Ok quick explanation,
During my search for a nice projector to purchase I can across this add;-
http://charlotte.craigslist.org/clt/2590092517.html It reads,
8mm Projector ELMO GS-1200 with Stereo Sound - Great Condition - Quality Product!!!
Completely in working condition ... even the original Carrying Case is included (see photos below)
I don't know anything more about it, but I am told (by the original owner) that it worked perfectly when last used.
Ask any questions & I'll get you an answer ASAP ... This is from a Smoke-free home & has been carefully cared for.
Drop me an E-Mail through CraigsList, or Call David on my Cell: 704.770.1733 ... to come see this Collectible!
So I emailed the seller David asking if it was still for sale, and he replied saying it was and after a few more exchanged emails I get a method of paying and shipping costs, now I am thinking have I got the bargain of the century or am I just about to be ripped off ?
I knew of the 8mm forum and quickly signed up; posting my first post
http://8mmforum.film-tech.com/cgi-bin/u ... 8;t=001958 asking if anyone is near to this seller, hoping for some overseas help, very quickly I had some replies one offering help and another from Winbert Hutahaean who said he had also seen the add but it was now sold.
Oh well I thought another deal missed, but I decided as I had already organised this deal I would email David back to see if it was me who he had sold it too and this was his reply.... I sold it this morning ... A gentleman called me, offered to pay the full price + $5 (with PayPal) & to have Fed Ex pick it up for him ... Is this perhaps the person you are mentioning below? His name is Winbert Hutahaean ...
I asked Dan about it and he called David the seller who confirmed the buyer’s name,
So Its funny that Winbert should then post this to me “And BTW about the above item, you might be "missed a good one there !" or as you mentioned earlier that you are now saved from the scam. Who knows?”
So I don’t know what’s happening here, have I been naive or stupid? Probably both, it’s a pity as I am not too well off and an Elmo GS1200 at that price would have solved my problems!
I am not pointing my finger at anyone and good luck to them, perhaps I have it all wrong but I would prefer a bit of honesty.
