I want the item to shipped to west africa through usps global express mail (3-5)days it is needed urgently for my coulegue son birthday.i shall also be paying through PAYPAL or TRAVELEX MONEY ORDER and so i will want to complete the transaction in a very timely manner and shipped out immediately after you are been notify of the payment Approval.I WILL GIVE YOU MY NAME AND ADDRESS AS REGARDS THE SHIPPMENT I want to do the transaction ASAP and i would indeed be very grateful if you could sell the item for me .These are what i need for the payment via paypal such as NAME ITEM NUMBER PAYPAL EMAIL ADDRESS.

    a refurb would be about the only way I could afford one!

    though truth be told, it pays to buy a good player...we bought an "Ultra" product and it both sucks and blows:mad: :mad: , you know, which I didn't even think was humanly possible.

    Y, I'm not sure what the scam would be. My guess is that he'd make up some excuse about not being able to use PayPal afterall OR use PP and then charge it back once he was sure that you had mailed the item?

    I dunno. Good luck ;)
