Hi Buyer,

Thanks for the mail and I really appreciate your response I have interest in purchasing the Boat from you. I'm ok with your stated condition alone with the price $12,500. I'm located in UK, I will arrange for the shipper that will be coming for the pick up and they will be coming with some other consignment of mine. I will instruct my client to procure a certified cashier check of $17,000 and send it to you to make this transaction fast and less time consuming (the cost includes shipping cost because I have other goods with the shippers). As soon as you received the check you will send the excess funds to the shipping company through western union money transfer because it is preferable to them (kindly let me know if I can trust you on this). The shippers will do the pickup along with the other goods of mine in the states. They will be coming immediately for the pick up so that they can complete and arrange the paper work, deal with customs and their other duties. They will come for the pick up at the moment everything is ready; I will really appreciate your efforts towards making this possible. Please email me your mailing information so that the check can be written out. Do send me the following information for my client to be able to prepare you the check without any further delay.

Example 4

The Seller assures that the boat is in good condition and maintained.

He is in the Army so the boat is held by a shipper, AutoMoving Inc. located in Florida. The email explains that the boat will be shipped to desired address and 5 days are allowed to fully inspect & test the boat at which time a decision (buy/not buy) has to be made.

All shipping costs and insurance are incurred by the seller. AutoMoving Inc confirms all this information and added that a 20% down payment is required to secure the transaction. They assure that there are no hidden costs and that buyers requirements are to state intent of interest and supply name, address and telephone number. When received by them through email section on the ad they will issue an invoice for $15,700, conditions of the sale and in turn contact me for the boat destination.

There usually is no phone number for the seller but do for Transport Company with a contact. The Transport company may be based in Nevada and has a website.
