Thanks mate.
I’m not too unhappy about an app being able to pull the info directly but the majority seem to want to move the money out of my current bank account into their own, many wallets/pots- which I’m inherently fearful of, as a former ‘money in a shoebox under the bed’ guy
Yep, that sounds sketchy.
Seems like this would be good to light up skate spots

Stumbled across this spot completely by accident on the weekend whilst visiting London. Had no idea where it was before.
‘spot’ doing seriously heavy lifting here ahaha
This reminds me, I stumbled on this urban bouldering clip earlier today:
True true! 
1978-era boulevard street skating in Los Angeles spotted in this video for John Forde’s ‘Star Dance’, using footage from the film ‘Van Nuys Blvd’
What’s the safest way to buy a deck from some random in the US off Facebook with the least chance of losing my money?
Or am I destined to get scammed?
Never do this kind of thing so can’t think which payment app/platform has buyer protection etc
Thanks
Is it a collectible deck? Is it a pure random or someone other people have dealt with?
But yeah loads of scammers on FB posting up other people’s pictures and taking money for decks they don’t own.
It’s the one I’ve droned on about a couple of times before, the Joe Gavin Landscape GZA board. So it’s more sentimental value to me, it’s not an Evan Hecox or anything. I’m on various collectors groups asking about and getting loads of terrible attempts at scamming me. I’m asking for a photo of them holding the board to try and sift them out.
Use PayPal goods and services then if it goes tits up you can get your money back. If they’re worried about PayPal taking a cut add the extra bit so they get the full amount, there is calculators online to work out PayPal fees
Username, and date on a white piece of paper with the deck in the same pic. Easy.
Save the image then use the Google image search function to see if it matches with another website using the same picture.
Will help you work out if they’ve saved the image from someone else’s collection/eBay listing or whatever and have reposted, passing it off as their own
From the selling forums I’ve used on fb you can ask for a legit check on a person.
Then you can get people to vouch for them.
People still use middle men?
Yeah I’ve had five people in the last 3 hours showing me the same photo of the deck 
Ah leave it.
Landscape was a thing in America then?
Oh and were they selling it first or you requesting it first?
If it was the latter then steer well clear.
Me going on a few groups
“Anyone got this deck?”
Loads of middle aged male and female “people” all suddenly have it. But they all live in Springfield, Missouri.
And they’re all at work so they can’t send me a photo just now. But they promise faithfully to send it if I’ll just transfer the money.
Oof.
Keep the faith. It’ll come up.
