Is this legit??

Is this legit?

I am trying to purchase tickets from toronto to nyc and back using greyhound/megabus
For Greyhound, i found this ad, http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/tor/tid/2844467847.html, and this person said he can sell the tickets for 140$ when it costs me 65$ *4 = 260 for 4 tickets from toronto to nyc.

For returning, I was thinking of megabus, and i found this ad "http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell ... Z352305960"
and she quoted me 98 CAD for 156USD originally.

Has anyone used their services? Are they legit? How do i know if they are legit? Should I purchase tickets from them in busterminal (Bay/Dundas) and show it to the ticketing person to ask if they are legit?

Advice will be really appreciated.

Thanks

The ad doesn't say much....just use common sense if you contact the seller. And always meet in person where there's a good surveillance camera.

Toronto to any where for 60% of the cost. Just tell me the date, time and destination and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
That's all there Is, LOL.

Wait...why don't you just send me the money, and I'll send you my online receipt/itinerary? :evil:

Don't do it, man...don't do it. Why doesn't she just print out the receipt and itinerary and hand it to you with the tickets?

Yeah exactly.. This smells fishy.. Don't buy that "Meet up with me and pay me then I'll email you the tickets WHEN I GET HOME.." crap.

Do..not...meet...this...person.

Sounds WAY too dodgy...

May be entirely legit, but the way you;ve described it, I'm not too keen on it.

I'd like to see how this turns out.

seems like legit! she met my gf in toronto dt and gave her the receipt
and then she just fwded us an email (when she got home) which she got from megabus.com when she purchased the ticket
and i logged into megabus to check if the order#/ticket# was legit and it seems like it :)

will update this after i use the ticket in nyc

I checked out the link...the poster sounds like a crackpot....I suspect counterfeit tickets....there version of freedom of the press lol.

I have bookmarked this link and even if you say they are good I would not go for the deal. Ever hear of the art forger that assessed their own work as authentic? :cheesygri
