Alright thanks so much for the information but due to some reasons i'm
not sure i will be coming to view it but i'm satisfied with the pic
and description. So what is your last price and will you accept a bank
certified cashiers check? I'm going to mail it to you and wait for it
to clear before making arrangement for the pick up..

to Mannie

I'm so glad you are going to buy this!
This would be perfectly fine!
I'm not sure if I can accept a bank certified cashiers check, I can
only accept a regular cashiers check. Would you be able to do that?
Thanks!

Alright, I'm going to put the payment in your mail and I'll wait for
you to cash it with your bank before any further pick up arrangement
of the item. I'll handle it through the freight movers, they will come
for the pick up at your residence after you cash the payment...

Kindly get back to me if you want me to proceed and i will need the
*Name to be on the payment
*Mailing Address
*cellphone number

Thanks

Can you confirm that you will send a regular cashiers check and not a
bank certified cashiers check? I don't accept cashiers checks from
banks. Thanks

How about a standard cashiers check? I can't accept checks from banks.

Thanks for the reply to my question about it been for sale, I will
want You to get back to me with some pictures of the item cos Am
buying it as a surprise, although I am presently not within reach(on
work basis) but I will arrange for it to be picked up by a pick up
agent which will be coming for the pickup once the payment clears, so
I don't think I will be able to come and see it myself and due to
security protocol of my job phone conversation is limited but I will
appreciate if you can send me a close up picture any time when you
are less busy as for me to have a better look here and make My
decision about buying it.I will also want to inform You that i will be
making the payment via PayPal which i believe is safe and secured and
also the PayPal charges is on Me which I will also pay for, so all I
need from You now is for You to get back to Me with Your PayPal email
address for Me to make the payment once You get back to Me with the
details about it and also with the pictures as well and please answer
this question

Are You the first owner of it?
Why are You selling it?
When have You been using it?
How much will you be taking off your price for me?

Thanks for mailing back,i am an Oceanographer and i am buying this for
Dad, i am at sea right now, I can only pay through PayPal at the
moment as i don't have access to my bank account online,but i have it
attached to my PayPal account, and this is why i insisted on using
PayPal to pay,all i will need is your PayPal email address to make the
payment,and if you don't have a paypal account yet,its pretty easy to
set one up at www.paypal.com.,i will be expecting your email.I have a
pick up agent that will come for the pick up after payment.I will like
to have communicate and discuss this via Phone but i am 95% Deaf and i
do use hearing piece so that was why i have prefer to communicate more
through Mail ...So kindly get back to asap...i need to see more photos
also and i will like to know the last asking price.

God Bless.

Great! I am a sailor and the dining set is out at sea with me right now on my boat.
We can try to meet up and you can take a look. Which ocean are you at? Maybe we can meet at a lighthouse or something?

God Bless
