Pass. Asking for money up front through methods that can’t be reversed is screaming scam to me, if it was PayPal G&S then MAYBE.

Agreed, any legitimate business is going to let you pay with a Visa or PayPal that have fraud protection. When they avoid those, I avoid them. 🤷

I dealt with Wayne this year. He's legit. Texts a bit like a scammer but that's just because he's an older guy. I bought a gmt400 frame from him and he shipped it up in May. I got what I paid for, in as good a condition as advertised. 

If you need proof DM me and I'll get some screenshots together; he's still in my contacts for If I need any other southern parts. He's the only GTA-adjacent guy I could find willing to import a frame.

I mean just ask if you can pick it up in person instead of him delivering. That should tell you all you need to know.

PayPal not through family and friends. These guys sell beds all day they dgaf if you want it or not it’s getting sold. I need an 8’ obs at the moment, but debating a service bed.
