Not as good range though.

daamon_vexion · 08-29-2006, 02:28 PM

in a cash transaction you dont need range, you are already real close... me i would use my sword.. more fun

**Joefireline** · 08-29-2006, 02:30 PM

Try using darts. Ever seen any of Bruce Lees films, there is one where this guy has a gun to him, and he just throws a hand make wooden dart at his hard, firing the gun out his hand. And then he beats the crap out of him. Good eh?

daamon_vexion · 08-29-2006, 02:36 PM

sorry, dont have the skill to throw a dart that fast.. ill stick to my sword

**Joefireline** · 08-29-2006, 02:40 PM

Well I suppose it will do...

Hey, one more post and you are at 200! Congrats.

Buyer : Item was not as described.

Seller : Robber: I’ll count to three and if you don’t hand over the money I’m going to do something.

Well, at least he didn't have to face a robber with a gun, since handguns for common folk are outlawed in the UK.

I thought he did...

I learned 2 things :

-Not that I condone his robbery, but if you're stupid enough to believe that you can get a £20K car for £5k and the deal is legit, then you're basically an idiot.
How many red flags does this guy need before he detects an obvious scam?

-Bring a handgun to cash-only eBay Sales , because criminals can have them , prohibited or not .
