Thanks for the swift response...I am willing to know the lowest price
of it.due to the nature of my job and location...i will not be able to
come for inspection,am a very busy type as i work long hours
everyday,I am already in talks with the courier that will handle the
pick up and delivery to my family . As regards the payment, I can pay
you through direct bank deposit,using Royal Bank Of Canada Instant
wire transfer service, I will need your bank details.If you are not
comfortable with that, you can set up a paypal account proper at
www.paypal.com.au and I will make the payment through paypal, this
way, all I will need is your paypal email address,so i can proceed
with the payment and contact the courier agent who will come to pick
it up and deliver it in my place.
Regards,
Thanks.
Very glad sites like this are available so I didn't fall for it!

Subject: Re: Hi, which gumtree item are you after?
Just did a google search on his name because it seemed a VERY dogdy that he couldn't say which item he wanted. So i did a google search and found this page and another Scammer Warning site which explains what he's trying to do - it's a Western Union scam.. details seem to be quite clearly explained in this description of the scam

BTW,
What Im tempted to do is post another ad in Gumtree to bait this scammer, then give them the address of the vacant house across the street and when they show up to collect the stuff, run across the street and kick the living crap out of them.

Thanks for the response,i will take it for $1,800 including PayPal
surcharges since i am interested in the immediate purchase.I just
moved to the United Kingdom,where this is needed and i will be making
use of a shipping company to have this picked up from you and
have it delivered to me.Further arrangements will be made with you in
regards to the pick up once i have paid you.
I would appreciate if you email me with more pictures (if
