    I have some jewellery I am buying from interstate (near Mt Druit NSW) and the seller doesnt have paypal, so I was hoping someone might be able to pick it up and post it to me.

    I would love to hear from you if you can help me out :)

    Anyone ?

    Would really rather have someone who I can trust confirm this is hallmarked / legit and confirm its weight before money changes hands, rather than potentially get a rude surprise when it arrives.

    And of course, I would be happy to send something shiny in your direction, to say thankyou.

    Two people got shot in Mt Druitt yesterday, one fatally. I'd drive there if someone else was prepared to tuck and roll out of the car as I wouldn't stop or slow down.

    Long way from Bankstown to Mt Druit. Many suburbs inbetween. I would be careful!

    Au-maggedon, both Bankstown and Mt Druitt are crime hotspots. Anyone in Sydney, knows this, as both areas have very negative connotations.

    Without knowing the details of your trade i would be worried about the following:

    1) The jewellery you are buying may be stolen goods.
    2) The possibility of being robbed when meeting the seller F2F.

    Not saying this is necessarily the case but with all the other shit that's been happenning lately, i'd be extra cautious.

    I have spoken to the guy at length and he just sounds like someone who is currently a few bucks short (but quite legit)

    Well sadly it looks like I am going to miss out on a great deal ... :(

    hopefully there will be another soon enough.

    I like to call Mt Druitt, Mt Ghetto..

    But its not that a bad area, used to work there for 5 years.. There are some very very nice genuine people..
    But on the other hand, there are a few dole bludging scumbag paxton peasant gangsta wannabes that give the area a bad name.

    That could be a blessing in disguise mate.

    There will always be deals but in the end it's only money.

    Stay safe, stay aware and becareful of legal stuff.

    A person acting as your agent makes you responsible for any harm or expenses they may incur.

    Gone are the days, when a hand shake and a blokes word was good; we now live in a word of BS and lies.

    Never get someone to do you a favour on this forum unless you know them well.

    Cheers
