Thanks for the response, am ready to buy the it and pay $1,900 by paypal and including PayPal surcharges since i am interested in the immediate purchase for my In-Law as a surprise gift he just moved to the Darwin where this is needed and i will be making use of a shipping company to have this picked up from you and have it delivered to him. Further arrangements will be made with you in regards to the pick up once i have paid you, advice soon i am an oceanographer and due to the nature of my work, phone calls making and visiting of website are restricted but i squeezed out time to check this advert and send you an SMS regarding it.
I would appreciate if you email me with more pictures (if available) too since i won't be be able to see this in person, what's the PayPal email to send funds to in order for me to pay you ASAP, And if you don't have a paypal account, it is very easy to set up, go to www.paypal.com.Au and get it set up.
I will need this following details so i can proceed with the payment right away.

This is very unusual - I have never known anyone to spend this kind of money without seeing the item in person. I am not complaining! My father died last week - that is the reason for the sale. The scooter was bought when he was 90 and if truth be told, he was just too old to manage driving. It has been sat outside his room in the ages care facility for a few months - I am sad he never got to drive it. It was bought new and never registered as it never went on roads. I will get you more pictures and send these over later today. I am actually ill I'm bed at present. Do I take it from the mobile number that you are a fellow
Pom?
I do have PayPal and will send details. Of course once you pay me it is yours - there is no issue.
Just so you are aware the item is located in Brisbane. I am sure I put this on the ad.

Dear Joseph or whoever you are.
I have good reason to believe that you are not sincere - so I will not be proceeding with this transaction. I don't appreciate the cynical way in which you attempted to take advantage of me at a time of great personal loss.
I will be reporting you and your phone number to the authorities.
