I found this on gumtree and i sent the seller an email:

http://melbourne.gumtree.com.au/c-Stuff ... Z250126834

so i sent the seller an email saying i wana buy it and he responded with this :

Hi,

The KIT was slightly used and it`s in perfect physical/external, as well as functional/operational condition. The price I`m selling it for is $1100, which is including all shippings charges.

I live in Albert Park VIC but I`m currently working in the UK (London) and I`ll be staying here for the next approximately 7 months, anyway I`m using MoneyBookers services so I can sell this KIT without difficulty. I left it at their warehouse before leaving to the UK. They are supervising the entire process from payment, shipping with a 14-day inspection period included, returns (if needed) and refunding.

If you want to purchase it, let me know and I will explain you how MoneyBookers works and how we can move forward.

I am waiting your email.

Thanks

then i said this :

Hey, ok this sounds good, is it possible i can go pick it up rather then having it posted? where are they located? Also i don't currently have $1,100 on me, but i do have $1000, would you accept that? Please let me know, Thanks.

and he lastly responded with this:

Hi again,

I accept your offer of $1000 including shipping and insurance of the package. The Kit is in Sydney at MoneyBookers storage facility. Usually they deliver the products with a 14-day return policy right after the payment is confirmed, for inspection and to pick it up instead of have it delivered you have to schedule an appointment, and it could take up to 15 days until you have it set which is more than I`m willing to wait.

If you want to purchase it, let me explain you how MoneyBookers works and how we can proceed:

To start the official transaction I need your full name and delivery address, I forward it to MoneyBookers and they will notify you with all the instructions (payment, shipping, my account status etc.). One of their agents will be assigned to receive and handle the payment. You have to transfer the funds to their agent as per their email directions and when the payment is complete, you have to send them the transfers information, they verify it, deposit the purchase amount in their trust account and start the shipping process. You will have a 14-day return policy, so you will have the chance to inspect the Kit before funds are released. If you decide to keep it, they will release me the funds, if not they will be responsible for the return shipping and you will have a complete refund within 3 days.

Anyway, they will explain you detailed the entire process.

I am waiting your email.

Thanks
