Dealer cost is not too far from his asking price and probably still bargaining power left (there is at least another $10K). In all liklihood this guy is selling underground for an Asian dealer or distributor or is maybe the dealer himself.

Anyone willing to fork over this kind of coin would be better off updating their passport and grab a flight, check them out, pay for 'em, and arrange for shipping that day & enjoy the area for a day or so & fly back.

There are bad people everywhere...

Anyway i would never buy from him...i don´t like the " no way to show real pictures" story , and he has just positive feedbacks as a buyer....

P.S. 2 tickets; me and the wife. Can you do 4 for our friend & his wife too? May as well make it a party since we are coming.

Never lived in Asia I take it. (9 years myself -- and so it doesn't come across with the same skepticism & as alarming as you interpret. I'm not implying Asias do speak like this regularly -- they don't. The english language is a bit difficult for some to muster as it is for me in their language. You should hear me speak Vietnamese with a bit of Japanese and Korean in the same sentence, and close it out with German -- they think I'm the idiot and well probably true, illiterate one:).

I could say a few but they would not be pleasant -- amazing how greetings and the such are forgotten, but some key words remain forever, fresh as yesterday.

What I was trying to say in the above, is that when you first meet an individual and are somewhat quisical of doing business with, sometimes, not all, too much emphasis is placed on reassuring the other the transaction is on the up and up as they say.

Hard to put on paper & expect readers to understand what I'm meaning. No disrespect intended whatsoever. So, there, maybe enough said.
