Telephone number is Huston area. Maybe she wants to sell it while the husband is out of town. She did say he loved it more than her.

One of you guys that lives there should go look at it. A friend got divorced years ago and his ex told him he could store what he needed for awhile in a loft in the garage. Nothing real expensive thank goodness. One of our other friends called me the next Saturday afternoon and said those are amazing prices his wife is selling all that stuff for. I asked what he was talking about and he said well I bought all his freshwater fishing gear, 3 shrimp nets, and a bunch of your radio controlled airplaines and helicopters. I asked how much and he said well the nets were $5 each, etc.
She may be going through a divorce and decided to sell at a real low price to **** him off or to get a really fast sale to pocket the money.
Do what Mr.Softy said. Call and find out. You guys in that area would be sick to find out she really is selling it and not make a simple call. If it is a scam what is one phone call?
