3 very important items are needed here =
1 broom
2 dustpan
3 bag
that said - side trim on that Clubby Estate, would probably clean up nicely, and thats worth a bit.

I don't know how this scam works, but I've seen it several times now. Its always too cheap to be true.

They advertise a car for sale that they obviously don't have, at a price that is much too good to be true. Each time I've seen it they've stolen the pictures and description from somewhere else on the internet. I assume the scam is something to do with taking a small sum of money, like a deposit or payment for storage or something, from the unsuspecting buyer.
