I and at least one other FMer have had some correspondence with "MacPro" aka Jim Knight and I am not positive about this, but he doesn't seem to be an FM member, but he does play games with buyers... he said he wanted to buy my lens and then low balled me... under what I had stated as my SELL PRICE, then said he accepted my price but then balked because he was unsure about the warranty.... then said he wanted it..... then he dumped the sale.
He even confirmed my creds with other former buyers here on FM....
Just a waste of my time........... something isn't quite right here so BEWARE!!!!
Are we serious? I understand that people bail out sometimes but you really don't need to be so bitter about it. People that low-ball you or what you consider low-balling, just skip over them. Or send them a message stating its low and you want XXX amount.

It makes you seem immature.
Am I serious Go screw yourself......immature.
Are you DENSE I'm trying to save you and others some possible agro here... he did this to another FMer who gave me a heads up days ago about this same guy because something didn't seem right about him.
Use the information or move on.... but keep your comments to yourself. ...your choice.
How exactly is this a possible scammer? I expect this thread will be deleted shortly by Guardian, as there is no threat here at all, just an inconvenient buyer.

No problem Karl.... I for one was glad that I was allerted to this guy and entered into this very cautiously.... I could care less about loosing the sale.

If the person isn't a member of the FM community what's the purpose of bringing whatever issue you have with him here?
He is contacting us about our sale items through this forum some how..... man there's some rude people on here .... used to be a friendly, helpful community. Sad
So, to clarify, are we supposed to be getting a heads up on potential aggravation? or a potential scam.
'Cause I'm having a hard time understanding the scam seeing as how the scam artist in question did not obtain goods or services...
This reminds me of when David Letterman went through the drive through at Taco Bell and ordered and paid for 1000 Tacos but then drove off before getting the Tacos. Muhahahaha That'll show them!
This post is not going well. It only shows how the potential seller is and nothing about the buyer. If a person does not want to buy just don't sell. I don't see what is the problem here. It looks like there is somekind of compulsion to sell to that person. It would be understandable if you are selling it at twice the retail price. If the price is fair, it will sell. It is hard to tell what is low balling as everyone has a baseline price. I once offered $725 for a $750 lens and was called lowballing which I din't think it was and the lens never sold.

A few questions:
1) Why did you chose to waste time with this person?
2) How much time did you spend and what did you do?
3) Specifically how much time did you spend with him checking your creds with others?
4) You seem like you think it's okay to judge others based on their behavior. But you don't seem happy when others do the same with you. Why is that?
5) How do you think your behavior here makes you look to others?
On the right of your post window you can see the emoticons. You can insert by clicking on them. If you click on the the last one with the + plus sign a new window with more will open. Just click and insert.
