I’m not sure if you received this in spam, I hope not.  I don’t know how the spam thing works.

I am so sorry and so embarrassed.  I just learned that you meant $500 per ticket, not for all three.  My apologies, I did not know how this works.

I will ship them via UPS Overnight, so you can receive them in 24 hours (with tracking # ) .

 The shipping price is included.

 

Because I am new on craigslist I will do this transaction ONLY through e Bay. 

In order to start the transaction through e-Bay reply to me with the following details:

 

–  full name

–  shipping address

–  email address

–  eBay id. 

 

They will send you an invoice with all the details that you need to purchase the tickets from me.

 

Please check my feedback, my id is " the*ocean"

 

Thank you

Oh, got it.  Let me see if someone can explain this ebay process to me so I can get the $$ to you.

It would be so much easier if I could just meet you, give you the cash, and I get the tickets.  I’ve done it this way on several occasions before, and I’m very nervous about sending money to someone I do not know.  I’d rather do this face-to-face.  Will that be okay?

I’m almost done getting an ebay id and account #, should have it done soon.  I just wanted to make sure this purchase is legit, as I work for the BBB, and we are often told to be careful when buying sporting event tickets from Craigslist.  I shouldn’t have anything to worry about, right?
