Again, don't even try to pursue this.  There are no "cheap deals" out there.  Don't waste any more of your time unless you want to be out a couple hundred bucks.

What the hell kind of name is Eric Randy anyways? It's amazing how stupid these scammers are, and even more amazing that they get peoples attention.

just becasue he has two first names doesnt discredit him, what discredits him is his unbelieavly low prices and sketchy business techniques.

I was just pointing out the fact that this scammer picked out a terrible scam name.  Eric Randy, really?

But go ahead and try it if you want.  Just be ready to lose your cash and feel pretty dumb knowing that "Eric Randy" just took your money, and that everyone on here was telling you not to do it.

Yeah probably a scam... especially if they're asking for your address before you say you wanna buy it.
