> Hello,

> The laptop is still available and I hope you are still interested. My name is Amy and I am now in Manchester, U.K.

> This machine is 10 Months old and it has been used for professional needs, it is in great condition and runs perfectly, and beyond evidence of normal use the laptop is in perfect shape. Other than a small area of light scratches on the underside and the normal finger stains that can be removed with a damp rag, this MacBook is MINT!!!

> The AppleCare warranty is good until November 19th, 2008 and it is fully transferable.

> One more thing, the laptop is an US version and it works on US voltage so you do not need a converter.

> I have attached some pics with the laptop to this e-mail so20you can see the condition of the laptop.

> Please get back to me and let me know if you like the laptop if you're really interested in buying it.

My return email

Ok, sounds good. You ship the laptop and then I'll pay you after I receive it and verify it is in good working condition.

Her email

The laptop will come with everything in the pics, case, mouse, disks.

I will pay for a 2 days delivery so you will receive the laptop within 3-4 days.

Obviously we need a safe way to complete this deal that will allow us to make sure we receive what we are after.

I have found a way for us to complete the deal safely and fast, and in this way you will receive the laptop in less than 3 days, if you move fast as well. The solution is provided by a worldwide delivery company DHL, and they will provide assistance in hadling the payment and delivery of the laptop.

With this procedure you will have the change to test the laptop before I receive my payment.

The procedure is explained on the DHL webpage and please click on the link below to the DHL website to see how we can complete the deal safely and fast directly from the website of the company.

Of course I'm not giving her any info/money until I have the laptop in my hands, I'm trying to get her to ship me the thing right now.

She is shipping the laptop to me, then I would send her payment. She wouldn't get any money until I have the laptop in my hands.

why would a person ship you something without you paying?

not saying if she is trying to scam you or not..

but why is it okay for them to ship to you first and then you pay..

but you cant pay first and then have them ship to you?

who's to say that you wouldnt stiff the person and not pay them?

just a thought...

You could always set up the deal to be COD.

There is no one to say that I won't stiff the person and not pay them. All I know is that I am not putting my faith in anyone, but if anyone wants to put faith in me, be my guest.

I agree with you..

its about trust, faith whatever you want to call it..

thats the nature of online transactions
