Order Complete!

You can complete the order purchase by meeting up or using a cash app such as PayPal, Venmo or whatever you choose. 

If you’re planning to meet up with a buyer, please remember to always meet in a lit area with lots of people around. A police station is always the best place to meet!  If you feel suspicious about anything, just leave. Your life is worth more than the item you’re purchasing.
