First I am going to tell you some things I think you should know before
ending this deal.I travel a lot and now I am in Eastern Europe. The item is going to be
shipped from Europe also.
My item is brand new, unopened box
all accessories included and also an international warranty.
Now, I can ship through UPS air next day delivery. I will pay for all
taxes. If you wish you can also send me your full shipping info so I can
make a reservation on your name .
The price of the item is 1000$ (as I said earlier with shipping and
insurance taxes included).Here I am stuck to western union wire transfer.I can't use paypal because it's not available yet. Just because of this I set up an insurance
with ebay which guaranties 100 % of this deal. If you wish I can contact
eBay right away and have them send you an invoice with my insurance.
If you agree on my terms I am sure we can close the deal right now.
Please reply after you think it over.
Best regards.

He had me at "Eastern Europe"!

Other than un-Americanized women, I can't imagine what they would have you can't get here. Listing dead on eBay.

It was some early recaro sport seats. The ad said that they were in San Jose Calif. There was a phone number on the ad so I called the guy. He said that his ad had been stolen by someone who was now using it as a scam. He said the actual seats had already been sold.:(
