Two weeks ago. Had my bank confirm everything before I would release it.

     So my curiosity is getting the better of me.  How did someone half way around the world find your truck to be able to buy it ?

#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

Ebay!

Thought I would list it on there to see what someone would be willing to pay for it. Set the reserve for twice what I had in it, and had two bidders that REALLY wanted it.

Didn't want to sell it, but they bid more than the reserve.  :'(:)
