then:

From: [email protected]

Thanks a lot.I have actually tried to get this kind of here earlier from here but most of the ones I got either have one huge fault or the other and some have even had accidents in the past while some are extremely exorbitant.As to the price, Price is Ok. So if you deem the offer good enough, I will be very glad to make the payment asap through my PayPal account or bank transfer i do have access to my bank account online as I am currently offshore and I won't definitely be able to make it to my bank to make bank wires across to you. As to shipping, I have a private shipping agent here in China that will come for the pick-up of the merchandise after the payment has been sent and you have received it in full. Do get back to me asap with your PayPal Email address and and Full name for PayPal and so that I can remit the payment asap if you want the payment to be made via bank transfer send me your bank name,Account name,bank account, bsb for the payment.

Kindly inform other buyers it as been sold.

Hello There,

I have just completed the Payment from my paypal account to your Account and i am sure you have received the confirmation from PayPal regarding the Payment made. You can check your e-mail for confirmation of payment. A total of $618.00 was sent and the extra $250.00 for the shipper's and $18.00 for western union charges,which you will be sending to the address below via western union:

First name: MIN
Last name: LU
Address: 33 Fu Cheng Road,
City: Shanghai
Postal Code: 200120
Country: China

All other documentations should be prepared by the Pick Up Agent. You should send the money soon so that the agent can schedule time and you would know when the Pick Up would commence, make sure you're home. I advice you to check both your inbox or junk folder for the payment confirmation message..The shipper would be coming around to your area to have the merchandise picked up once you have sent the shipping charges fee to them, as i need you to let me know what time you want them to come and where (your address & phone # you can be reached on)

I will be waiting to hear from you once the money has been sent to my shipper.
