They even didn't take the implication of a cash deal as good enough to respond. lol I guess they will stay safe if it is a scam. At least from me that is.

LOL That is what I said. Still no response on it. I think they got scared away.

Oh well. Thought I might be able to have some more fun with it, but I guess not.

Hello,

Thank you for your interest regarding my tractor ( 2005 John Deere 790 ). Here are the details that you have to know about this deal. The machine is presenting in very good condition, it has a diesel engine that starts right up even in the cold weather and runs out strong. The unit is ready for work. It comes with all the documents needed for registration, it has a clear title and it can be anytime registered into your name without a problem.

The price I want to obtain for it is C $4,000 and if you agree with it we can start to complete the transaction. I realize that is a cheap price for such a product but my special situation makes me do things that I wouldn't do in normal circumstances. Right now I am located in England, Europe. I am trying to make a new life here because my wife wants to be closer to her family. I am selling it only because I need some money urgently.

The tractor will be shipped from Quebec, Canada and it will take no more than 5 days to arrive at your door. The shipping fees to your location will be supported by both of us, so the final price that you will have to pay for the unit is C $4,500.

The transaction will be supervised by BuySell for our own protection.Your funds will be insured by them until you will receive and inspect the machine and I will be sure that I will receive the payment.
If you wish to proceed, please provide me your details (full name and shipping address) so I can start the transaction. They will contact you right after, with all the instructions to follow. Please email me back and let me know what your intentions are. I will appreciate a fast answer from you.

Thank you!
Jason

I was following a JD 790 with 419 FEL on Ebay yesterday. It looks like somebody got a bargain for $9101. It was a 2003 model with under 100 hours on it. I hope the deal is legit. It was a No Reserve auction. I actually bid on it, but I guess I was too greedy or stingy as the case may be! It wasn't exactly what I've been looking for, so I wasn't a highly motivated bidder.
