Do you still have this item available for sale ? Please respond with the final asking price and please let your response be swift.

After answering his inqury,not know at that piont it was a SCAM, here is the response I recieved....

Hello Seller,


Thanks so much for the quick reply. Let me inform you that I will be responsible for the shipment of the item from your location in the united states to my store in the united kingdom using my UPS account. However, there is one little problem which i think should not be a problem if I make myself clearer to you before I continue with this transaction with you, the payment for your item will be issue out to you by my debtor in the United States to the tune of the amount he owes me.


My debtor told me that he can only issue out the payment to you in form of a Cashiers Check which can either be cash in your bank or any nearest bank around your area. All you need do as soon as you receive the payment from my debtor is to deduct the cost of your item and get the excess fund on the payment wire via western union money transfer to my Store Attendant in the United Kingdom so that he can pay the due store rent to the store owner I use for my business.


I want you to deduct an extra US$30 for the time and energy you will waste in transfering the excess fund to my Store Attendant. Any charges incurred from wiring the excess fund is going to be deducted from the excess money.



Please confirm your name, address as well as a valid telephone number as soon as possible if you are willing to continue with this transaction so that I can inform my debtor to issue out the payment in your name in time.

I await your reply.

Regards,
Henry Smith
