I expect this timely enough. The condition is as new the only reason I haven't put new is because I have used it twice I think but is that good that if I had put new you wouldn't have been able to tell if it wasn't but as I’m honest As for the payment, I would need you to get back in touch with the last asking price as I will be paying with a certified cheque. I will find out the postage cost tomorrow dinner time these facilities. Lastly, please forward to me your full company's (or house address, telephone and fax) details as I will subsequently prefer reaching you through my address was here but thought i had best not post it ***********only after 1800hrs *************** during working hours I can't give you my work details as I am in the army and it is not permited Steve then he sent me this email? Hello Thanks for your response and your mail content duly noted. You can not belief how only I had wish meeting you personally to discuss this regrettably I am no longer based in the UK but now resides here in Canada on similar business interest and also have a family owned old aged whare house and home located in Scotland (storage & restoration unit) which is being run by my lovely daughter and wife. So, would you please inform me if I am to purchase it as is bottom line price on the A-clamp (quote your price minus shipping cost) and in the same doing send to me necessary details--Bank Name and Mailing address, telephone number(s), Your full name (plus telephone number(s) and Banking Cordinates--to which this cheque should be payable to thus we could effect electronical transfer of the cheque to your Bank account swiftly without much ado. On the shipment, I have a recommended haulier there who will be contracted to meet with you for inspection, survey and arrangement for it being transferred to Scotland. On getting the cheque cashed and all agreement are proven to be legitimate, he (the haulier) will be directed to establish contact with you for immediate transfer of the item to Scotland where my wife and son are designated for receiving orders made by me or by our customer(s) who has placed such order.

But sorry, starting from January 5th I will be out on the road at work everyday until 6:30 evening so until then it would be best to e-mail me as I will be checking it often and won't be available by phone until I get off of work Edited January 10, 2008 by fergie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Lord B Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 the fact he doesn't need half those details to send you a cheque, read the words, listen to what is said, the story and the words he uses. For a start this person is not English, it reads just like one of those scam Nigerian diamond mine emails. Complete cr*p; give the details to IanB and ask him to have their membership removed.......
