“Thanks for you reply,i am located in fulham city
in London,i really need to buy this and send to my
son schooling outside the country as gift.I have
been trying to buy this on ebay but its so very
stressful buying on ebay.I will offer you $225
so as to close the auction as soon as possible.
I will be paying through PAYPAL because i have
a verified account with paypal.
So kindly get back with your paypal email address so i can make payment
into your paypal account.Once payment clears,shipment
will be handled by me through my personal fedex account,
so you dont have to pay for shipment.Get back to me
if my approval is granted.I would like to see the pictures
please.
Thanks”

Would pay through paypal but wouldn`t let me wait for funds to clear before I shipped. In most cases they enter bogus paypal info and then send you a payment then when you try to deposit into your real bank account it comes back invalid funds and your screwed.
