I've listed a vehicle on there, and the process is legit, though I didn't list it long enough to find someone who was willing to offer better than a lowball. I would have been totally comfortable transacting had I found the right buyer.

My son-in-law buys and sells cars and car parts through eBay regularly as a dismantler/rebuilder. Always be wary of scammers and tire kickers, but it's a legit way to buy or sell a vehicle.

Ok, I understand that. My concern is that seller is saying she is in the hospital and cannot meet or show me the car (even at a public place) as I am willing to drive to her city (3-4 hours drive from me) to see, test drive and make sure it’s legit. She did share her photo id and the title of the car which I’d assume it’s real. She seems old and saying that she is in tbe hospital and cannot talk on phone (I tried multiple times to ask if we can talk on phone) or meet me somewhere. So I am not sure if it’s a real thing although I like the car and the price it’s listed for.

I had similar weird vibes on an E36 M3, passed and have no idea if seller was legit or not. It isn’t worth the hassle, but if it passes the sniff test then I’d consider it.

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

Is this legal?
After being mugged and having my things (including my keys) stolen, I was locked out of my townhome after business hours on a weekend. I was told on the phone when dialing my complex’s after hours number (which is managed by a 3rd party company) that my complex’s policy would let me in for a cost of $100 (as it was after hours). After I was let in, property manager informed me the charge was $200. Is there anything I can do here? This is in Minnesota. Help appreciated!!
