Has anyone had any experience with, or have any advice to offer about, selling
a kayak in Holland from the US? I have a buyer for a folder of mine and want
to find out how to do the sale protecting both the buyer and myself from loss.
I know there have been scams involving overseas transactions lately, but I
haven't heard of anything connected to Europe. Thanks.

Bob,

I think it is a scam. Is this the email that you also recieved?

Hello, I just saw your advert, I am willing to buy your Kajak Sport
Millenium
I am based in Holland, Amsterdam and
I am highly interested in your item.
How much are you asking?
I am willing to pay $1800
I will like to know more information on this item,
let me know how you are willing to ship it or should I arrange on a shipping
company which will come pick up the item and also let me know your mode of
payment and where you are located. Expecting to hear from you.

Yeah, right, someone in Holland wants a boat made in Finland shipped over
the Atlantic from the USA!
