Seems a bit odd that the guy lists his location in Falls Church, VA, but wants to meet the buyer in Seattle, WA.

    Also odd that he offers shipping options. Who would be stupid enough to mail,or otherwise ship a million dollar purchase?

    Did you get that from the Coconut audio website ?

    Have to agree though, anyone making a million dollar purchase then entrusting it with the U.S. Postal service needs their head examined...thoroughly. Or become my new best friend.

    He never states what it is a recording of. I wonder if it could be "The Brave Bulls", the live recording from the Plaza de Toros in Mexico (of their house band).

    The USPS is quite reliable and safe if shipped via registered mail. There's also federal laws protecting handling of the mail that other couriers don't have. I have read that jewelers use it for diamonds and gold all the time. However, I think the maximum insurance is $25K.

    The bigger issue is ensuring trusted payment. For that money, an escrow service is a must.

    I offered him the asking price but the deal fell through when he refused to come down on the shipping costs. No way I'm letting him take advantage of me! :neutral_face:
