Ok, here is the deal:

I want to order a GruppeM-Style Intake from a person on E46fanatics, but their paypal account only allows sales to ship to the buyers home address. I wanted to ship it to a friends house, pay for it with my paypal, and then pick it up at his place. Since my #1 brotha is havin paypal setup issues, I am coming to you all to help me out.

The Deal:
You buy the GruppeM-Style intake with your paypal account ($240) (that includes shipping), and when it gets delivered, you call me and i will hand you $260 cash when ya give me the intake.

It is as easy as that.

PM me if you are interested,
Thanks,
-Chris

You must be crazy if someone is gonne trust you with paying them back the $260 once the intake arrives. If you really got the $260 cash, why not send the guy a postal money order. I am sure he will take that as well.

i think he only takes paypal, but i'll be sure to ask him..

I take it you are buying the intake without your parents knowledge. I am sure the dude will accept a money order from the post office. That is the same as CASH.

According to the E46fanatics thread, he said he accepts paypal or a money order.

paypal or money order

ok, i just re-read the thread on E46, and he will take a money order.
i'll do that then.

thanks for the advice,

hahaha I needed a laugh tonight!

I don't think it would be obsurd if you payed someone the $260 first then the person pay the guy for it. I definately would not send a money order or anything of the sort. That is just asking to get ripped off, and you would have absolutely no recourse.

PM Sent :D

Offer still on the table... anybody have a paypal acct?

i can be flexible on the payment to you: aka half before, half after.... etc.

Do you really think anyone would bother paying for anything out of their pocket without funds first?

Just the hassle of ordering an item, much less wondering if your going to get paid is not worth the $20.

I would think an offer of cash up front and a fee on top of that MIGHT get someone to do you a favor.

favor? that be more like a job.

I never said i would not pay first, but do keep in mind i don't wanna get ripped off either... :shifty

Its ok, i've been researching the ECIS intake, and i think i'm gonna snag that one. It has real gain, real loud noise, .. doesn't look that great, but hey, i don't picnic in my hood too often.

I think i can order ECIS from Modbargains w/o any problems on the delivery.

Thanks for the interest though,
