That's great, Thank you for getting back to me. Though I'll be using the services of a mover who will arrive for the pick up of the item on my behalf every because I'm currently away for a contracting Job but I will send a Certified check through my Bank to cover the cost of the items. The check will be delivered to you by a reliable courier company within 2-3 working days. Please do provide me with your full mailing address, and also indicate your final price, the Name that should be on check and finally a cell phone #. Kindly delete the posting because am serious in buying it, when the Funds Clears then we can arrange for the pick up asap. I will be waiting to read from you soon. Thanks for your understanding....Aimee Cutri.

Resolved Question: I don't have an NOC. But I need to Relocate to Bangalore. What should I do?

I am a recent college graduate. I bought a bike about two months ago using finance in my dad's name. The bike is registered in my dad's name. Now I have a job offer to Bangalore. I need to relocate to bangalore along with my bike. I can't receive an NOC since I can receive one only after the completion of the loan. Even courier companies ask for NOC to transport it to banglore. What are my options to relocate my bike to banglore from chennai?

So I recently put my high end bicycle on craigslist for $650 (150 below retail) And I have gotten a response, however it seems fishy, what are your opinions? Do you think this is a scam? Here is an email I recieved. Thank you for getting back to me. Though I am planning to use the services of a mover to pick up of the bicycle on my behalf every because am on a job transfer and short of time but I will send a Check through my Bank to cover the cost of the item. The check will be delivered to you by a reliable courier company within 3 working days. I will appreciate it if you provide me with your full mailing address, final price for item, the Name that should be on check and finally a cell phone #. Kindly delete the posting because am serious in buying it. I replied with this A few things, If at every possible, Cash or Money order is strongly suggested, just to insure payment. And one mistake with the bike is the valves on the tires. they are a wierd tipped valve that require a special pump, but they can be replaced cheap. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't like the idea of check, let alone a mailed check. but he has to pick up the bike right? so if the check clears it's every good and I hand it over....right? This money will help kickstart my ebay store(...And by that new 2010 PMR I've had my eye on haha) but before I ramble(any more than I already have..) what do you think? does he sound legit?

Resolved Question: Why are unions HIRING demonstrators for their "protests" at MINIMUM WAGE?

Jennifer Levitz of the Wall road Journal reports: "The Mid-Atlantic Regional Council of Carpenters is seeking paid demonstrators to march and chant in its current picket line outside the McPherson Building, an office complex here where the council says work is being done with nonunion labor. "For a lot of our members, it's really difficult to have them arrive out, either because of parking or something else," explains Vincente Garcia, a union representative who is supervising the picketing. So instead, the union hires unemployed people at the minimum wage—$8.25 an hour—to walk picket lines. Billy Raye, a 51-year-old unemployed bike courier, says he's grateful for the work, even though he's not sure why he's doing it. "I could care less," he says. "I am being paid to march around and sound off." Hmm... MINIMUM WAGE?? Don't the unions say that it is NOT a livable wage? WHY aren't they paying their "demonstrators" a REAL "living wage"? Is this more leftist HYPOCRISY or DOUBLE STANDARDS?
