IMPORTANT NOTICE TO OUR SELLERS:   We have been notified by some of our sellers that they are getting phone calls from some outfit in Nebraska trying to get them to “list” their cars for sale with them for $199 ... this guy is very vague about his services and no one seems to know who they are exactly .... so if you never heard of them .... we never heard of them ... and no one else seems to know them it’s doubtful that they can do anything except take your money ... some guy named Jason or Jeremy just spending his day dialing for dollars and hoping he can get your credit card number and your couple hundred $$$....  Just wanted to warn you as we have had several complaints about this guy. If he calls you and you are on the No Call list we suggest you report him at www.donotcall.gov
