Guy had already sent me a signed bill of sale.
Was going to his office to copy both sides of the title and his driver's license.
I arranged to have it picked up today.

After he went to make the copies did not hear from him nor would he answer his phone, emails, or text.

3pm was the deadline for my credit union to wire money so did not wire it.
Called the transport service and told them it would at least be Monday afternoon before they could pick it up.

The transport service evidently didn't get word to their driver. The truck showed up at his house at 10 minutes of 4pm. He refused the pickup. At 5 minutes to 4pm the tranport driver called to tell me the guy wouldn't let him have the car. I then called the service and they said no big deal they just couldn't get ahold of the driver in time to cancel the pickup and would reschedule for monday afternoon/evening.

At 4:03 pm received an email explaining while he was making the copies a person in his office offered $100 more to sell it to him, they went to an ATM and he got $500 down payment. And the guy was going to pay the balance Monday. Said he was sorry and I would be the first one he called if the deal fell thru.

Replied to his email saying he had sent me a signed bill of sale, told me specifically a down payment wasn't necessary and all he had to do was email those copies and he would have the money in his account and he saw that the transport company would have been there at 4 to pick it up and he would have been done with it.

Sent him another email telling him that I had arranged for the transport since he had sent me a bill of sale and he owed me $100 it cost me to hire the transport.

Have not heard from him since, so sent an email and a text that said.

"Well, it was nice meeting and talking to a person of integrity that is such a man of their word as he was."

My nephew that buys and sells cars all the time said he was probably trying to scam me and asking him to produce copies of the Title and his driver's license and him one then coming up with the excuse that he sold it was proof.
