That's pretty messed up - trying to profit off of a friend when he's in the dark.

Barrister has a reputation beyond repute

That's what I said. He knows how badly I want the car and he tried to score a quick buck. Times like these make people crazy!

Sorry for the stir guys. Trust me, if I order one you guys will not be in the dark. You will be the first to know and will likely see me on the news dancing in the street.

Hmmmm...let me gues...this friend of yours is/was a real estate developer. Sounds like a move a RE developer would try to pull.

BINGO! Not a developer though - a broker. He was flying high for so long. Now he is unemployed and really struggling. Too bad.

I had a friend try to sell me an $80 life jacket that he got for free because he is a sponsored wakeboarder. He wanted $50 but because I knew he got it for free and was trying to profit off of me I went and paid full retail for the thing...

10000x more extreme with a car, I'd be really bothered.

That sucks, and you don't look like Obama, I was going to say Peter Griffin...
