I got a different response-
I made a healthy offer too and the response was just a counter of 6.5K, no conditions. Still, it troubles me that they asked you to do a bank transfer as a condition of purchase.
I've said it before but the most worrisome thing is that this person seems to know full well what the absolute top ebay value of these ponies is, and wants a bit more- and yet has zero ebay feedback? That just doesn't add up.
