Default Personal Help Required

I have some purchasing help that I need from willing members.

To make a long story short.......

I want to buy this part number 70900071 from here http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US

Thing is that this part costs only $300 dollars but the dealer here in Saudi Arabia is trying to gouge me out of $500 for this part.

What I need is for someone to buy it from Zanotti's on my behalf (since they don't deal internationally) and I can paypal him/her the money.

I also need this part shipped to an address in the USA (New York) to a freight forwarding company who will in turn ship it to me in Saudi Arabia.

All of this will be paid by me from my paypal account to your paypal account.

I am also willing to pay you some money for your time invested.

Anyone interested please PM me.

By the time you have gone through all that it will have cost you 500 bucks anyway.

Just change the delivery address in paypal to the NY address and you can do it as a USA transaction...I do it all the time using "my man in Van Nuys".

IDK...sounds alot like one of those "I send you $$$ & you send me something & I stiff you" scams. Good luck, but no thanks!

Actually it won't cost me 500 bucks.

Zanotti's sells it for 234, local shipping to the courier company may be around 20 bucks, and my courier company forwards it to me for around 30-40 dollars, we are still around the 290-300 range. Even if I give someone 50 bucks for a couple of clicks, I still get it for 350.

Also, Paypal does not allow you to use a US address on an international credit card.

I tried it, and it doesn't work.

Hey, I never asked you or forced you to help me. If you feel this is a scam, then so be it, nobody is forcing you to do anything, but spewing insinuations such as this is uncalled for and unfair!

By the way, I want to paypal the full amount to whoever wants to help before he makes any purchase on my behalf! If anything I am the one with the highest chance of getting stiffed!! I could paypal the money and poof, he could vanish!!!

But there is something called trust, and I trust people on this forum are not lowlifes!!
