This is to inform you that am pleased with the pics and willing to pay the asking price for this item. I'll be making payment for this item via check, so you'll need to provide me with details in which the check can be mailout to. Details should include: your full name, visible home or office address where you can easily recieve package via courier service and phone #. <br />N:B Am responsible for the pickup arrangement, thereby i'll be sending you an excess payment which will cover the shipping cost but all required of you after recieving the payment is to deduct the amount for the item then you send the remaining balance to the mover via westernunion money transfer/moneygramm in cash, then they come for the pickup there after. Let me know if you're satisfied with this arrangement. if you're, i will implore you to take off the ads on craigslist and consider we have a deal on.

Why would anyone offer me more money than I was asking for and then tell me that they are paying by check? To anyone who is using Craigs List, rule of thumb, cash only and item must be picked up. This is not ebay and people are not tracked or rated. Protect yourselves!! Chris, how you are not behind bars yet is beyond me. I will be contacting the FBI now.
