I have bought items before but for much less than i would be spending this time and i would normally do my best to pick it up in person but this is impossible.
I would like to stress i have no reason in any way to suspect but i have read stories on here concerning people being conned by other users and need to protect myself.
I have considered asking for the item to be listed on ebay but have desided their fees are way to much,paypal is another option but im not familiar with thier protection when buying from outside of ebay
many thanks
