Thanks for the swift reply. I am still interested in buying it as I am
satisfied with the conditions because i read thru the AD..I will make
my payments with a certified check and Also I will be responsible for
the pick up when check clears. Kindly get back to me with below information
in order to avoid any delay as i dont want to loose the item.
Name to be on the check.
Address to mail the payment to. (NOT P.O.BOX)
Phone number both land and mobile.
As soon as the information is been supplied,I will give you an update on
the payment as i dont want any delay in getting the horse.. I will be
highly grateful if you can withdraw the ad from the site and make
me your favorite buyer.
Also,I will like to inform you that the payment check will include
both your charges and the shipping fee.This is how it will go. As
soon as the check clears in your bank,You will deduct your charges
and keep the difference to the shipping agent that will come to
your home door step to get the horse from you and you will help
me pay them at the point of pick up in person, so the horse will
get to is destination.
Please let me know if you will still sell for me as i will need to
confirm this before the payment is been mail out to avoid any
inconvenience,Reply me with the details to make payment to if
you are okay with it..
I was just about to make the payments when i had this little problem
with the picking up of theitem, as i explained earlier that i am on
sea and i tried to book pick up with my pick up agent, but they
asked me to pay first before they can make the booking, and they
only accept western union money transfer for payments and they
don't accept pay pal or bank transfer and I tried to send the
money online but i could not and I am on sea and there is no
way i can find a western union agent to make the transfer to my
pick up agent, I'll like to know if i can be able to entrust
those funds in your possession you'll be sending them the funds,
so i wanted to ask if it was okay for me to include my pick up
agent's fees in the payments I am about to send through PayPal,my
pick up agent charged $570 plus insurance and all of that,this I
would have done myself and not bother you but for the fact that I
am currently on sea Please let me know as soon as possible.I will
more than appreciate if you mail me back, and I will be making the
payments shortly.
PS:the shipping company's Head quarters is in usa and any pick up fees
to be paid is sent to their head quarters by the payee, so the money
for pick up will be sent to their head quarters in usa through western
union money transfer(this can be done from any post office) or you can
do it online at www.western union.com
Thanks

First of all I have to tell you that I can't use the phone due
the casino policy. Here on the cruise ship, the dealers have
prohibited to use the phone. The trailer is already at the
shipping company in Jackson, MS ready for the shipping.The
shipping process will take between 4-6 days, depending on your
location. I have a contract with Google Checkout so this deal
must go through them.
As I said in the first email I work as a casino dealer on a
cruise ship and I can't meet you or bring you the trailer,
so that's why I am using a shipping company.
Since this is an online transaction I wanted the both of us
to be safe so for this deal I am using Google Checkout , and
that means that you have 5 days from the time you receive
the trailer to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not.
Here is how it works:
1.First of all I will need the following details from you:
- Full Name
- Full Shipping Address
2. After I will receive the details from you, I will forward
them to Google Checkout.
3. After they will process your info, they will send us both
invoices.Your will make the payment to Google Checkout and the
funds will be 100% insured by Google Checkout.
4. Google Checkout will contact me and I will ship the trailer
to you. After you receive the trailer you will have 5 days to
test, verify and do whatever you need to the trailer.If you
will buy it, then I will receive the payment from Google
Checkout. Please take into consideration that I will get
paid only after you receive the trailer and make sure
everything is as agreed.
5. If you will decide that you will not buy it, Google
Checkout will refund you and I will have the shipping
company come pick up my trailer.
If you wish to make the transaction, please send me the
necessary info so that we can proceed.

Hi,
The horse trailer is still for sale. It has a clear title, very well
maintained, no damages, no rust or dents and no mechanical problems.
I'm asking $2900 for it, non negotiable. I have to sell this horse
trailer as fast as I can because I'm currently working in the UK
and I'll be moving here permanently within the next couple of months
and can't afford taking the trailer with me. I can ship for free
within the US if you want to buy it. Let me know what you decide.
The pics speak for themselves, You'll love the trailer, I can guarantee you that!
Hi,
I will have the trailer shipped from Alaska by an US Air Force trailergo
so there won't be any additional shipping costs. Also I will arrange for
a truck to transport the trailer to your home address or, if you like,
you can pick it up from the nearest airport in your area. The shipping
will take 6-8 days, depending on your location.Shipping will be door to
door,to your home address,somebody must be home when the trailer arrives
to sign for the reception.The trailer will arrive with all the papers and
documents required for registration and the keys. The clear title and the
bill of sale will be already signed by me.
The payment will be done through eBay.You will send the money to
eBay and as soon as the payment is confirmed they will notify me
to proceed with the shipping. I will ship the trailer, you will
receive it and you will have 5 days for inspection, both the trailer
and the paperwork and the option to accept or reject the trailer. The
inspection time period will begin as soon as you sign for receiving
the trailer at your requested address.During all this time eBay will
hold the money into a trust account.So, this is not a blind transaction,
you can see the trailer before decided to buy it.If you are satisfied
with the trailer and decide to keep it you inform eBay about this and
they will release the money to me. If the trailer is not as advertised
and decide not to keep it eBay will refund you the money, no questions
asked, and shipping back the trailer will be my concern. I think this
is more than fair for the both of us.Please take into consideration
that I will get paid only after you receive the trailer and make sure
everything is as agreed.
If you agree with these terms and you have the money, send me your
full name and the address where you want the trailer to be delivered
to and I will initiate the transaction with eBay. You will receive
all the transaction details from them.
I will appreciate an answer as soon as possible.
Thank you
