2nd response
Thanks for the detailed explanation ,am satisfied with your firm asking price and I really appreciate your honesty  as that is what i really need most as wont be able to come for inspection as am at work ,just want to buy the it as a surprise package for my son to show my appreciation in my absentia and i really believe he will really enjoy it.I would have love to ask for inspection but am making it a %100 surprise package for him and i dont want him to know about it until it delivered.
Please the fund is ready and available in my account so am ready to transfer the fund as soon as you get back to me with your payment invoice details through paypal and pick up could take place after payment clears into your account as i dont have much time over the internet .Thanks.

3rd response
Thanks for the paypal payment request and am happy to proceed with the payment, however i just got a confirmation mail from the shipping company now that i will need to pay for the freighting fees before they can schedule pre-shipping/ pickup date,they charged $1,550aud for the pick up and delivery, but the problem is they only accept western union money transfer as form of payment which is sent to their HQ in the China.

As you are well aware of, due to the nature of my work am away and do not have access to western union, most post offices have western union section,will it be ok with you if I add the $1,550aud to the amount I am transferring? and as soon as the money goes through you can help me make the western union transfer of the freighting fees through western union money transfer? You are not obliged to help me, but i will indeed appreciate your help as I am a little incapacitated here.
Cheers.

Hello thanks for reply, i am a marine engineer, i am at sea right now.
I am buying this for my son as a surprise gift. However,does it have
any history I should be aware of? and why are you selling if you don't
mind my asking and I will really appreciate if you can email more info
and if possible more photos.  I can  only pay through paypal at the
moment as i don't have access to my bank  account online(i dont have
internet banking with it), but i have it attached to my paypal
account, and this is why i insisted on using paypal to pay,all i will
need is your paypal email address to make the payment, and if you dont
have a paypal account yet, you can set one  it cant take you less than
3mins to do that, i will be expecting your paypal email so l can pay
and your phone number.  I have a pick up agent that will come for the
pick up after payment has been sorted,  l will be waiting for your
reply asap.

OF COURSE I TOLD HIM TO F.....OFF BUT PEOPLE BE AWER OF SCAMERS
