Last one was a badlands grill for 250. I guess the price was my first clue. Said they would ship and if I would pay via PayPal. I know there are specifics in invoice etc and there must be a safe way to use a payment system with marketplace. Would like to meet in person but the distance is not always possible.
Unfortunately, unless I can meet the seller in person- it’s a no go. Way too many scamming scumbags out there these days. It really makes it hard if you’re looking for something in particular but I’d rather deal with that than losing money to a shithead.
BTW- this grill seller in Charleston, SC? I noticed a $250 one on there.

If it sounds too good to be true, It's a scam! Delete Facebook and don't look back! EDIT: If you do find someone that's legit and they're selling a part for 1/4 the price of oem it's mostly junk anyways!

Yeah, but we have even seen that meeting at person at the MVD isn't good enough to not get scammed.
Unfortunately Facebook Marketplace is just full of scams and for that reason i prefer to use different auctions, as i am more protected as a customer in this case. Plus erlinket customer service for example is always very responsive and ready to answer all the questions i have.

Even in person there are risks. I used to have a gun store and a couple of times customers would tell me they got jacked meeting someone to buy/sell a gun. I told them next time to meet at my store for stuff like that. Cause everyone in my store was armed.
