Tell him your cousin lives in Cimpina, Romania and ask him if he lives close to there...and if so can he/she come and pick it up?

See what he says. He lives in Pucioasa (noted in Gottadeal link), and Cimpina is less than 20 miles away. (Both are less than an hour from Bucharest.)

Watch him scramble and say "uhmmm...sorry I just sold it"! 😀

Done.

AS follows:

Another quick question...sorry to keep bothering you, but a good friend of mine will be going through Cimpina, Romania and will be staying there for a few weeks. To save you on the shipping, and do a personal favor for HIM as he wanted the ability to use a computer during his trip, would you mind me sending him over there and picking up the laptop? That'd be great! I'll send out the money A.S.A.P. and let him know, if possible.

LOL You were too slow 🙂

 
I just sent him this email:

"Hello, is your system still for sale? I'll send you $1500 Western Union right now for it if you'll take it. I've never used WU, just tell me what to do. I have the money and it's ready to go. Thanks a lot and hope to hear from you."
 
I can just see this guy racking up debt with his credit cards up the wazoo while thinking he has scammed like $6K from people.

LOL

How are you supposed to know he only takes Western Union?

Ok, I'll send him an email saying I can send Paypal, as well. By the way, If his email is forever@mynocatee.com then his Ebay userid is vonraven vonraven
Not a bad user rating (34 pos. or so) and some of those things he sold look like they could be from romania, but they are all little items from about $3-$25.

He hijacked that guys account, those aren't really his items. This all started when I got an email from eBay saying the auction I was bidding on was cancelled b/c the account had been hijacked. Read my first post😉

Here's my funniest email so far...

It's unfortunate when time is infinite.

Thanks,
Paul

I love how the money would take an "infinite" amount of time to get there, but the laptop would take 2 days to get here. 🙂

He's not that dumb. Of course Western Union sends money to Romania, just not through their on-line service. You have to go to a Western Union location to send it.
