Thanks for your Quick response...... I'm cool with the price and condition as stated on the advert.Item going to my new home at Darwin.Would have loved to come for inspection but,presently at work in New Zealand Oil and Gas (NZOG).We are offshore in New Zealand Taranaki Basin on kupe project.You might be worried not calling,but for now We do not have access to phone network at the moment due to heavy storm ,that's why I contacted you with internet messaging facility.Regarding the payment,i will be paying you through PayPal linked up with my westpac bank account.Please get back to me with your paypal details so i can process the payment,or you can alternatively send your bsb acct name and number if you have no PayPal acct can transfer fund to it as well from my paypal account.I have also contacted a courier who will come for pick up after the whole fund has been cleared into your account. Await your reply

I was just about to pay when i had this problem with the courier pickup, my pick up agent says,for them to deliver the item to my new home at Darwin, will need to pay for an upfront pick up fee before they can schedule a pick up time and date.They charged me $1,650 for pick up and delivery fee,which the payment for pick up are directed to their corporate international headquarters in China, and the payments is made through western union money transfer.I will add the $1,650 pick fee to your item payment.Will need you to help me send the money to my pick up agent HQ in China through western union money transfer, this can be done from any post office,there is always western union money transfer section in most post offices or you can get it done online via www.westernunion.com,i would have done it myself but as i am at sea and didn't bring my credit card aboard,.I will appreciate your help here.
Thanks

I placed an ad on Gumtree selling an item after the death of my mother. The response was immediate: Thanks for your swift response.Am okay with the price and condition as stated for both started on your gum tree ad,which as prompt my quick response in purchase.I would be glad if there are any more things to know about the condition because won't be able to come for the inspection due to my nature of work.I work with New Zealand oil rig ,presently off shore for petroleum project.Perhaps would have ring you on phone but we have phone Network restriction due to bad weather.Regarding the payment,i will be paying you through PayPal linked up with my westpac bank account.Kindly get back to me with your paypal details so i can process the payment,you can alternatively send your bsb account name and number if you have no PayPal account.You don't have to bother yourself about the shipping.I'll instruct a Shipping Co Agent to come for pick up at your door,when you must have gotten your cash at hand...I will wait for the paypal payment to clear in your account before we proceed with the pickup,once payment has cleared in your account and money is made available,then after i will contact you on how the shipping agent will schedule the pick up time with you and deliver it to my place in Darwin after the whole fund has been cleared into your account Thanks I googled her name and she had used the same technique before
