I have YET to find one in CA that the seller will send a picture of (with a $20 bill on it for verification). I've been stood up 3 times with cash in my hand at a location. VERY peeved at the moment.
Well gee you might just be a very lucky guy there Calvinatr, has that occurred to you???
I'm just a girl from the sticks now, but I used to be a girl from NYC and I can tell you right now there's no way in hell I'd stand on a corner in any city in this wonderful country with even six HUNDRED cash on me that i TOLD someone in advance I'd have ready to swap for his allegedly for sale item.
I hope you got one hand on yer money and the other on speed dial 911 or either some kind of permitted-to-carry insurance. Where do you agree to meet for something like this, i/f/o a police station?
And as for the transactor on the other side, how does he know you didn't print the money. And he, he's coming by himself or with his 10 buds?
C'mon. You guys sound short a few cards either side of this deal. This is what shrinks call inexplicable risk-taking behavior. Over some machine that conventional wisdom has it will languish on the shelves in a few weeks on months. Maybe they're wrong but even when there were no more orange shuffles on the planet I managed to round one up through a legit vendor online and paid with plastic from the convenient castle of my residence.
Stay home, call your mom, say hi, rent a movie, play it on your old fashioned Powerbook so it won't realize the depth of your intent to betray it early next week. Fix up your playlists. Order pizza. Go work out.
Oops (trips over cat climbing off soapbox)...
