So, I put an ad on craigslist to see if someone would buy my rims and I got a response... Here is the email trail so far.
Quote:
Thanks alot for your mail.pls sorry for the responding late to ur mail,pls am still instrested, pls i believe the 4 17X7 5-100/114 40GRM Konig Reasons with tires ,is still with you,pls do help me to take care of it.
I am based in West Africa.
I will be willing to buy your 4 17X7 5-100/114 40GRM Konig Reasons with tires
Aspa shipping i have made arrangements with a shipping company that ocean airliners,they will be on ground to do the pick up at any location of your choice but i will have to inform you before the pick up will be done.
As regards payment,this is what i am going to do;I have a client in the US
who is owing me $3,800 i would instruct him to make out a cashier's check to you in that amount and as soon as it clears your bank you can now deduct your money from it and send my balance by western union money transfer.Although the value of the cashier's check is more than the price of the your 4
17X7 5-100/114 40GRM Konig Reasons with tires ,but i think i should be able to trust you with my balance.
The reason why i am doing this is that it would take a cashier's check sent from over here in West Africa 30days to clear over there,whereas a cashier's check sent from within the US would clear tops within 48hrs.I will also be using part of the balance to pay for the shipping company that will be on ground to do the pick up.So i would like you to deduct the western union money transfer charges from my balance.So if my terms are acceptable to you,i would like you to give me your full name, address and phone numbers so that i can instruct my client to make out the cashier's check to you.Pls get back to me as soon as you get this mail so that i can know my stand.
Regards
