Guys looks like scammers at it again, Craiglist ( Glasgow Scotland) has a D10 Franklin listed for £2200.I am 99.9% sure that it is scam, as far as I know there are no Franklins in Scotland, and I pretty much know all the Scottish Steelies.

Hi Malcolm
In the 0.1% chance that this is a bona fide sale, I have contacted the seller and am waiting for a response. Will let you know what happens. Very Happy

Be VERY careful. I got scammed on an Emmons from overseas. It cost me $1,600 to learn my lesson. Whoa!
I even got an e-mail from e-bay on how to make payment. The trouble was, it wasn't for e-bay. The notice I got had an extra period in the e-mail address and that's how the scammers got by with the scam.

Erv, don't think Ken has had any reply from them yet, no one sells a Franklin for that price.

That is real money, been about a lot longer than your currency.

Even after living here in the USA for eighteen years I still find myself subconsciously 'converting' dollar amounts into 'real money'.

It keeps me grounded!

Of course, I buy my groceries with Monopoly money like everyone else here. Very Happy
