Dear timone84401,

hello, My client is interested in buying ur item and he wants to pay via Cashier check,he will issue a cashier check which will include the money for the item,my commission as an agent and also the shipping charges,Immediately u get the check,you will go straight and cash it at a local check cashing point in which u will send the excess funds thru western union money transfer to my client shipper in africa the same day u get the check ,If u agree on this,kindly send me ur contact mailing address to send the check to with ur phone number.

My only question is- do I taunt him for a bit?

Somebody else emailed to say the the bike I'm selling is the unicorn they have been searching for; and could I discuss a delayed payment if they win... If they win, I can discuss it.
