The buyer’s contact the actor and they agree on a meeting location which is not near the trailer. The buyer is told the location of the trailer and told to examine the trailer before they meet. The seller uses the excuse that he is at work or that his father is ill and cannot leave to meet at the trailers location. If the buyer likes the trailer, the buyer meets the actor at Super X-tra Market on Memorial Drive to make the payment.
