the ad has the typical earmarks of the common 'nigerian scam' .
notice, they always start out with an explantion of the seller's difficult
circumstances - reasons why you are going to get a killer deal.
and .........ship it for free in advance, and pay for return shipping if the
prospective buyer doesn't like the van - *sure*, that's going to happen.
The old adage comes to mind - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably
is.
Sorry Linda, close but no cigar.
