Hello,
Thanks for the response.I am okay with the condition and price of the item and am
willing to add extra $20 so you could keep it in my favor. I'll be paying
with a Check via next day delivery.
I'll be responsible for the pick-up and the movers/pick up money will be included in your payment to avoid delay and to enable movers to schedule an appropriate time for the pick-up at your location after check has been cashed,as i have other properties to be moved alongside with yours.
I would have really love to come for the viewing but due to my work frame that might not be possible. kindly get back to me with your full name and address including your cell and land number so i can make out payment to you.
I believe this is based on trust.
Thanks.
What is this guy trying to do? Get my address so he can come over and steal it? As I was reading this I thought for sure he would want me to deposit his Check and send him money. I have no idea.
