Found a guitar that I'd like to buy on FBMP, am having good comms with the seller, agreed a price (circa in the region of £500, so not thousands) and he's not far from my sister who can pick it up for me or he could even drop it into her.
But transpires he's selling it obo a dyslexic friend. Because his friend has been burned on Paypal siding with buyer he only wants cash/bank transfer.This might be possible via cash if my sister & her hubby see it first, & video me for a quick look over before handing over cash.
There's probably nothing 'untoward' going on here but I'm a bit 'nervous' & I'm trying to ensure I protect myself to ensure money is going to the right person. It's all a bit 'untidy' - whilst I like the guitar I need to be careful to sensibly balance head/heart.
Any advice guys?
