I wanted it so bad. Few weeks ago, there was a NH 3930 4x4 on auction. I wrote the seller and he gave me his reserve. I bid, but the aution never went to reserve price. I finally came home 10 minutes prior to auction end, but could not bid... So I wrote the seller, said I'd give reserve. Fine. My story begins.
I asked to speak to someone: and was told I could send western union funds or transfer to a bank, but only by email to seller. After about four emails, seller said he was deaf. This was a first for me. I pursued, and finally got a call from a service for deaf. Interpretor and him typing on other end. It was wierd, and I got little said. As a buyer I am frustrated. I kept asking to "speak to someone where tractor is", since seller was in N-midwest and tractor located in west. Wrote I could not speak to his brother where tractor is. Could I fly to west and see tractor? No, tractor would be shipped (free)... I must say, if it was real, this was a fantastic deal, Heck, I'd have flown to west and looked at tractor with CASH, wire or anything for that price. As it was, I said I'd pass on the deal, cause there were things that didn't seem right, like email names that had one given name that showed, but sellers name was very different. The fact I am to blindly send money to someone, with no human contact, just typing into interspace. Fact that the shipping company the man said indicated they shipped only up to 150lbs. He assured me they could ship it. It didn't seem right.
Oh, well, I either missed out on a great deal, or I avoided a scam or bad deal. I do not really know which.
