yea i know a kid from cali that was offered like 12k for his GA when he only wanted 5 or 6, and it was a cashers check or something, and what would happen is when the person would cash it they would get the money then give the car to the person then the money to ship it or whatever, and a few weeks later the check would be bad and the person would have to pay for the whole amount of the bad check, or something like that ---

It is a scam. I talked so some moron a month ago (I work for a bank) that was stupid enough to wire $7000 to a foreign account. The $10,000 cashiers check he deposited was of course a phony so he was screwed. ---
