Hey there thanks for the mail,  am indeed  ok with the price and conditions....Contact via phone would have been the best to talk to you but due to the nature of my work, i am a tool pusher and work with Industrial CNC Tube & Pipe Cutting Machines and we are presently on the rig offshore we do not have access to phone at the moment,
I am buying this for my first son who just graduated on top of his class as an Engineer at Eduardo Mondlane University in Maputo, Mozambique, I want it to be the perfect graduation gift for him and am making it a surprise package hope you understand? Does it have any history I should be aware of? and why are you selling if you don't mind my asking. I don't mind adding an extra R500.00 for you just to take down the posting. I am already in talks with the courier agent company that will handle the pickup and deliver it to my son after the payment has been made.
I will process the payment to you now via PayPal hope you understand the nature of my work? i am a very busy person working all day  i don't have access to anything at the moment but i have my bank account link up with my PayPal account so I will be paying you through PayPal.Kindly get back to me with your PayPal details (name&email address) so i can proceed with the payment immediately and contact the courier agent who will come for the pick up and deliver it to my son once you cashed out the money from your account, But If you don't have a PayPal account you can easily set up one just log on to (www.paypal.co.za) and sign up as its very easy.

I had a seakayak for sale on kijiji. I got alot of emails demanding me to set up quickly a PayPal account. She stated the satellite disc is down so she can't call.I ask her about the kayak and she is only iinterested in the trans action. She says she has a courier that will pick up the kayak and I'm to send money to the courier. I googled her name and found she used the same story with other people.

I was trying to sell a seakayak on kijiji. A Julie Bartone tried to gete to do a transaction on PayPal and she wanted me to pay for the courier. When she told me she was an engineer on a oil rig with the satellite disc down I New something was wrong. She didn\'t know anything about buying kayaks, I threw questions at her and she never answered them. Thankfully I googled her name and found she has the same story trying to scam other people..
