For those potentially selling on this site, beware. I advertised a Kubota BX25D and have been contacted by (2) different POSs in the last (2) weeks. First guy's email was similar, he wanted my PayPal info to send me the $, then he would have the tractor picked up by his 'shipper' a few weeks later. I asked where he lived and he responded a location about 2 hours from my home. I responded, "perfect, what a coincidence, I'll be there next week visiting my daughter, I can deliver it to you" calling his bluff. Then he balked and said he would be out of town 3000 miles away. Here's the 2nd email from a different guy today:

I really would like to buy the 2014 Kubota BX25 and As for the payment I will be issuing you out check that you can cash instantly plus I will get a private shipping agent who will come pick up in your location after check is received by you. My shipper ships Auto's as his specialization and right now he is out of town for some pick up and can't be located at the moment, so in order for there not to be any delay in this purchase I would be sending both you and my shipping agent money with extra fees for insurances together on the check that will be sent to you. when you get it deduct yours $17,000 and send the rest to the shipping agent wherever he may be, that's when I must have located him and let you know where to send it so he can use it to get down to your place for the pick up. I will need your Full Name, Full Mailing Address and Cell Phone Number so as to send out payment today.
Pretty obvious. Be careful out there.
