Thanks so much for the update.The price is not the problem but i think i have to be very careful this time when am transacting on the internet. I had fallen into the hands of some fradulent seller that,collected my money and ver ships out my item. I hope i can trust you? Anyway, i intend to make fast payment as soon as i can before i travel to Bahamas in 2 weeks time. I will making my payment through US Certified check and i will wait till you receive and cash it before i arrange for the shipping.

Shipping will be solely funded by me without you paying a dime, if you are okay with this, let me have your full name and address plus your reachable telephone number as it will be written on the check so that,i can forward it to my finance house to prepare your check immediately for you to receive it on time. Do get back to me

Wow! this almost sounds too good to be true! you'll pay shipping?! that's great.

Something has come up, though. another suitor for my guitar has written and is interested in buying the guitar. However, he is not going to pay shipping, but is going to pick up the guitar as the ad said, since he lives close by. fortunately though, frank rebery, not all hope is lost. he has graciously agreed to have a contest with you so that i may judge who is most worthy of purchasing the guitar from me. He is currently preparing a video of himself playing the guitar, just a brief few minutes, and wishes you to do the same so that i can judge who deserves the guitar more. please let me know which song you will be performing in the video, and get it to me as soon as possible as you only have two weeks before moving to the bahamas where there is no mail to ship things. thank you, and god bless.

I hope so! you offered free (paid for shipping) which I cannot turn down! Are you going to send me a video of you playing guitar so I can decide who gets it or not?

Hahaha, glad you didn't fall for it.
 
i knew right off the bat because the english from "frank rebery" was horrendous. my first response to him was just where is he located as it's local pickup only. the rest is above, and is pretty clear cut.
 
So, you got a "frank rebery." I just got an "evan henry" saying almost exactly the same thing for the mixer, dual cd and case I'm selling. Maybe we should introduce them to each other.
 
I just got the exact same email from "frank rebery" in response to my for-sale posting at Craigslist. I found your blog and laughed out loud as I knew there was something screwy. Thanks to your blog, I'll not deal with mr. rebery :-)
Cheers.
 
hey, glad to hear it helped...if you do talk to him, can you ask him when i can expect my video of him playing guitar? :)
