Me-

"$3000? That's pretty steep especially without a photo."

Response:

"Thanks Pat,

What would you be looking to offer? $2,000?"

Me

"Do you have a name? I don't know what to call you but I don't even want to make an offer in fear I'd offend you."

Response:

"My name is John, any offer would be appreciated. And we both live in Michigan, so if your interested, we can meet up whenever is best for the both of us."

I thought I’d post in here with a couple concerns. Although I don’t have hard evidence; this guy might be up to his old habits.

On Dec. 20^th, I was contacted by a person responding to a generic craigslist ad that I posted about buying fountain pens. I was contacted by phone, and this guy sounded fairly young (18-25). He claimed he’s inherited about 100 fountain pens from his deceased grand-father and wanted to sell or trade. “Do you have any Parker 51 double jewels?” “any Parker 51 double jewels,” “any Parker 51 double jewels,” “I will trade for any Parker 51 double jewels.” He kept repeating over and over again!

I told him to email me with some descriptions and photos of what he had. He wouldn’t give me his name and his email address was greatgatsby090@gmail.com.

I noticed some characteristics of this guy that matched a lot of what’s been said in this thread and I had multiple alarms going off in my head. The pictures looked too good to be true, him remaining nameless, poor grammar, and if we’re getting real picky --- greatsgatsby090 vs. brando090 same numericals... coincidence?

Over the weekend he reached out to me again:

“I have a Vac band Vacumatic and a Vacumatic display. $3,000 for the set. No photos available at this time, I have another buyer looking at them in a few hours from now.”
