I'm pretty sure I just had a few too while trying to sell my car:   Thanks, your asking price is quite reasonable and affordable considering others I've seen lately, I'll take it like you stated on the ad, also will like to know if you have PayPal account where i can send the fund to, because am not local right now and i need this urgently, Im currently in service at the Maxwell Air force base, I would come myself at least to see what am buying and to test drive, but i don't have the time. But i think i can trust you on this , i will start making an arrangement concerning the pickup at your place once i read back from you, So you have nothing to worry about cos am going to handle shipping myself. Kindly get back to me with your PayPal email address or log on to www.paypal.com to set up a PayPal Account if you are new to PayPal. If you have troubles with the account don't hesitate to email me back with any questions. Please get back to me with the following details: (1). Your full name , (2) Your PayPal email address for the payment, (3) Recent pictures of it..... cos I don't wanna waste my time and Yours with endless discussions. This way, I will be assured of the serious intentions __________________________________ A'm seriously interested in buying it and I think that this is a fair asking price. Currently I am at sea right now ( I am a marine engineer for the navy)but I really want this as a surprise for my son to handle it for. I do not want to let him know anything about this until it gets delivered to him. First, I do have some basic questions. I would like to know why you are selling this item. Also, what is the condition of this item. Considering that I am currently at sea, I only have access to my paypal account to make payments because i don't have access to my bank account online because I cannot use internet banking on company computers. I have already accessed my paypal account and saw that I can make payments which is why I insisted on using PayPal to pay you. So if you could email me back with your PayPal email address, I can make the payment to your account today. If you don't have a PayPal account, you can set one up at www.paypal.com, it should take no more than 3 minutes. Paypal is a reliable and secure website, which will protect both you and I when dealing with this business. I will be responsible for the payment fees/charges on this transaction. Don't worry about the shipping or the picking up of the item, because once you notify me, my agent will come and pick it up from you once I have made the payment to you. To make the payment, I will also need your full Name,address. Thank   😞  ...why do people have to do things likte that... ... View more
