This is very unusual - I have never known anyone to spend this kind of money without seeing the item in person. I am not complaining! My father died last week - that is the reason for the sale. The scooter was bought when he was 90 and if truth be told, he was just too old to manage driving. It has been sat outside his room in the ages care facility for a few months - I am sad he never got to drive it. It was bought new and never registered as it never went on roads. I will get you more pictures and send these over later today. I am actually ill I'm bed at present. Do I take it from the mobile number that you are a fellow
Pom?

I do have PayPal and will send details. Of course once you pay me it is yours - there is no issue.

Just so you are aware the item is located in Brisbane. I am sure I put this on the ad.

Dear Joseph or whoever you are.

I have good reason to believe that you are not sincere - so I will not be proceeding with this transaction. I don't appreciate the cynical way in which you attempted to take advantage of me at a time of great personal loss.

I will be reporting you and your phone number to the authorities.
