Good to have your reply. I am Geraldine Hamby from Gastonia, NC. and
would have loved to come and inspect this at your place myself, but I
am a marine engineer and presently off-shore. I am interested in
buying this for my son in North Carolina as a surprise birthday gift
and pls just make sure it is in condition described. I will appreciate
more pictures if available and will be sending your money asap. A
preferred shipping agent will be available to pick this up after
payment is made. Do you have paypal account? because, I have a paypal
account that I can easily send money through because, its good for
business payments. Get back to me with your paypal email address and
name in order for me to have your money sent on time. Confirm sale to
me and remove the add from posting.
regardsWhat do you mean?. The shipping company does not involve with
transactions between buyer/seller but only pick up and deliver. Due to
my present location, my choices are limited and not often available by
the phone. I am an honorable man and you will receive your money cash
in hand before this is picked up. However, it's easy and free to open
a paypal account. Just go to there website www.paypal.com and sign up
a personal account there. Paypal is the world leading payment master
that protects both buyer/seller interest. You are on a secured
transaction with paypal. Above all, it's like instant cash. As soon as
you open an account, get back to me with the name and email that you
linked with your paypal account and I will have your money sent asap.
And due to the nature of my job and having being a paypal customer for
the past 18 months with no charge back, I feel more comfortable
sending my funds via paypal due to there various security measures at
ensuring safe and secured transaction between both buyer/seller. But,
if you feel otherwise, I totally understand.

beware, it's a scam. there is no idiot who will try to send a story about a son who is a spinner in NC, trying to get a production spinning wheel and not asking the questions about the wheel itself. Sorry, lady (or gentlemen), get better at it, or better to say go get yourself an honest income would you...
