When I reply, I got the following response from Henry Edward :

with the condition of the item.I will add $30 to the purchase price...
for you to hold it for me,Please provide your full name, Address and
your Phone number so that I can send your payment.I will be paying you
by a Money Order /Bank Check. It will take 2 -3 days for the payment
to get to you,As for delivery, I will make arrangements for the
pick-up after you have received payment,If this meets your approval,
kindly get back to me,as soon as possible, with your name, phone # and
mailing address where payment will be sent,so that I can have my
assistant get the Money Order /Bank Check ready.
Note: As soon as you have your money in hand,we can talk about the
picking up of the item. I would like you to take the posting off the
site today and consider it sold to me.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
