<WBR>Mark<br> <br> I figured that was the case all along. But it's funny how this guy was so desperate to "make a deal", that he didn't even notice I live in Hawaii. Or he's so ignorant of geography that he doesn't know you can't drive to Honolulu. <br> <br> <div style="CLEAR: both">Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT<br> Piano Tuner/Technician<br> Honolulu, HI<br> Author of <br> The Business of Piano Tuning<br> available from Potter Press<br> www.pianotuning.com</div> <br> <br> -----Original Message-----<br> From: Mark Schecter <mark@schecterpiano.com><br> To: Pianotech List <pianotech@ptg.org><br> Sent: Fri, 18 Apr 2008 8:20 pm<br> Subject: Re: used pianso in Houston<br> <br> <div id=AOLMsgPart_0_c793e3c5-4426-401a-b52b-e67b9ded9bf7 style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; MARGIN: 0px; COLOR: #000; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff"><PRE style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt"><TT>Rings a scam bell. "Shipper" pays with a legit-looking cashier's check, so you help him load the piano onto his truck. You wave bye-bye to him, and to your money when the check bounces a couple days later. Version 2, he pays with a much larger check than the piano's price. You give him the piano plus a check, and you lose twice.
