Two guys in a van tell you hey we on a job got a 4k tv it was over shipped. They will show you the invoice with the 5000 price tag and will take whatever you give them. Because it didnt cost them anything. They will follow you to the atm either rob you or when you get home the box has rocks in it. The good ones will get broke tv and just give you the case. Just don't by 4 k tv out the back of a suburban. If it is too good to be true it is. 4951

Thanks for the head's up.  I bought a great "Rolex" watch out of the trunk of an Impala once.  Cost $35, held perfect time for 5 years, when the battery died the guy told me it wasn't worth a new battery.  4951

I had the same thing happen to me years ago at the neighborhood Walmart. Just about anytime someone approaches you in a parking lot they are up to no good. 4951

@ET: Q:Do Rolex watches have batteries?A:QUICK ANSWEROnly one model of Rolex watch, the Oysterquartz, has ever had a battery. This watch was produced in limited quantities from 1970 to 2001 and was removed entirely from Rolex's catalog in 2003
