    Jason,

    Thanks for the response, Actually when i saw your advert i was hoping you will still have the item for sale. okay............concerning the pick up i have spoken with my shipping company for the pick up, they advised that I send the shipping charges together with your payment in the CHECK my colleague would issue out to you so as to make the transaction faster. because if i send the shipper a separate check it will take them 15 working days to clear in Greece.

    So I would have to instruct my colleague to make out the check with excess funds including the shippers charges to you via ups next day air immedaitely you get it, then cash it deduct your portion with 55$ compesation for the little stress you go through that makes the total of $855 for you, and send the excess funds to the shipping company for immidiate pick up of the (1998 4 x 4 blazer) from your house and other items which they are suppose to shiped to my house from new york, colorado, and florida. i will email you my shipper's info where to send the shipping charges to via Western union or Money Gram.

    All you are to do is to take the check to your bank and get it cash then have your portion deducted from the total amount and send the remaining balance to the shipper for the pick-up of the item..

    Please I would need you to do me this favour for me as well my shipper coz is the only reliable shipper that has been shipping goods for me for over 4 years now. do this favour to avoid any delay in the transaction. Thanks for your understanding..

    Note: pls dont forget to send me your cell phone number also with the name you want on the check including the address which the check will be mail to by courier service.

    i look forward to your prompt response...........

    BEST REGARDS..............
