claimed it was best to contact him by email at daved1516@gmail.com
then accepted the price and wanted to pay me via paypal, with \'his freight agent\' comming to pick up the goods. i noticed the scam on scam tip off and didnt proceed to give him any more details.
not sure what exactly he is up to, but it seems many people have had the same interactions with him.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
