I want a quick deal and i guess you want that too because this is the only way you will have it home before christmas. Anyway, payment will be made through wire transfer. After i receive the payment proof i will ship it. My paypal account is now blocked because another buyer paid with a stolen paypal account. The BIN price is $1000 shipping and insurance included. The computer is new and it has the manufacturers warranty. If you agree please reply with full name and address and i will send you payment info (bank account, etc.) I'm looking forward to your reply.
Thanks.

Thx mate.
You saved me a lot of bucks.
I got suspicious and did a search of a "seller" email address and came across your "fraudster" list.
You are now on my shortlist for citizen of the year.
