JOE!!! I'm frantic about whether to purchase this way underpriced 2003 B-W 130 Sport w/40hp Merc & trailer..and whether the seller (female marine Sgt) is actual owner!

Sorry about starting new post, but I wanted a new title to reflect my immediate needs & concerns..whereas the old post title was worn and not being looked at anymore imo!

So..I just emailed her Ebay source (that she sent to me in the form of an email, but not showing up on Ebay itself since private sale). This person who has an Ebay account is to perform a private sale for her obviously (he's "smed66usa"..who has 75 transactions but only a one-star rating; same as mine as a buyer only.

She wants $1495 deposit down..and balance in 10 days. Feel that's a bit high (since $500 is norm).

WHAT DO YOU THINK JOE?!
