8:08 DEALER X: you have someone willing to drive to you with $250
8:08 DEALER X: and that's not good enough.
8:08 DEALER X: you just did me a favor.
8:09 DEALER X: Huh?
8:09 DEALER X: I shouldn't even have thought about buying it... saving the $ would be better anyway
8:09 DEALER X: There are 4 reasons why I prefer Paypal than face to face
8:09 DEALER X: #1) Electronic funds ensure that I will get my money
8:09 DEALER X: #1--- I would bring cash ma
8:09 DEALER X: #2) Cash can be fake sometimes
8:09 DEALER X: lol
8:09 DEALER X: that's too funny
8:10 DEALER X: forget it man

8:10 DEALER X: oh yeah, where in Miami?
8:10 DEALER X: Why do you want to know?
8:10 DEALER X: just want to see if you are just saying that or if you are really in Miami
8:11 DEALER X: it's unfortunate you I happen to be from FL
8:11 DEALER X: you/I
8:11 DEALER X: Yes, but will not drive to meet in person - too weird
8:11 DEALER X: I want Paypal
8:11 DEALER X: for a beta booster? you kidding?
8:11 DEALER X: $275
8:11 DEALER X: that's a sweet treasure
8:11 DEALER X: did you just raise the price on me?!??
8:12 DEALER X: No, lol
8:12 DEALER X: Not unless you use Paypal
8:12 DEALER X: If you use Paypal, I will lower the price to your asking.
8:12 DEALER X: 4 days.

8:12 DEALER X: Huh?
8:12 DEALER X: but like I said man I could just have cash

8:13 DEALER X: You have my paypal address written down, dont you?
8:13 DEALER X: i just have to scroll up
8:13 DEALER X: i already copied it anyway to my email
8:13 DEALER X: Cool.

8:15 DEALER X: cya ttyl

After laughing about this with some friends... DEALER X returns...

8:17 DEALER X: Hey ease my mind about something else if you could...
8:17 DEALER X: if you are in Miami how could you send the booster to me?
8:17 DEALER X: Please ask away
8:17 DEALER X: How long would I have to wait for you to get back
8:18 DEALER X: Just call me.
8:18 DEALER X: I dont use MTGO that much
8:18 DEALER X: How long would I have to wait for you to get back <-- just answer that so I have an idea of how it would have played out if I was even able to send PayPal today (which I couldn't anyway)
8:19 DEALER X: Send the payment today.
8:19 DEALER X: Then we'll talk some more
8:19 DEALER X: i told you I can't
8:19 DEALER X: I have to transfer funds
8:19 DEALER X: takes up to 4 days
8:19 DEALER X: then call me when the funds are transferred
8:19 DEALER X: it is beginning to be more of a pain than I thought it would be... I thought I had a good solution to just drive by and pick it up.
8:19 DEALER X: ttyl
