In the past week, I sold my jeep and found another one...online. I called the place and began speaking to the salesman...Shadi. Yep, Shady is what I called him. I gave him a rough time about a "Used Car Salesman called Shady"....how he didn't inspire trust...we had fun with the name and we came up with a price on a right hand drive jeep for me. A beautiful 2011 four door that I loved, online.
So, I go to the banker and say I am buying this jeep from a man called Shady and that I haven't seen it, but I want a loan. We do our business...she feels the need to ask if I am sure....We pull up the website it looks legit....and Shady and I have a friendship...so I feel good and confident.... and even my very conservative husband agrees for us to send Shady money, lots of it and then wait for them to ship us the jeep.
At one point, they will have it all....my money and my jeep and they are 13 hours away....but hey, I trust Shady.
So, when the check is in my hand, I head straight to the Post Office and send it out Certified. That was on Friday. Today is Wednesday....and no check has arrived at Shady's place.
He calls and says "Miss Beth....so, the check is in the mail, Hey?"
I say, Honest Shady, I did put it in the mail....I am a mail lady....so now he gets his day to rib me. Except it isn't as funny...for my money is lost...or hasn't arrived, is taking the long route....I don't know....and how long will Mr. Shady sit on this jeep with a buyer who keeps saying "the check is in the mail" Honest.
I actually sent him an email apologizing and said it was my Karma coming back to me...and that if it all falls apart...I understand...and all will know, is I will have to blame it on the US Mail, not Shady!
