Subject: Re: Fender semi-hollowbody bass RARE - $600 (North of Grand Rapids)

like i said earlier i am busy here at the base and have no permission
to move out of the base including phone access.i would have love to do
this deal via western union hence why i said this transactions should
be done via paypal but which you can just drop me a voice message
since i won't be around to answer to your calls(720-262-3568) kindly
get back to me with your paypal info in order for me to transfer your
money into your account.

My Reply: (She had previously told me that her 'agent' would pick up the instrument.)
Hi,
Since you earlier mentioned that your agent would come and pick up the bass, I have a brilliant solution!
Since I don't accept Paypal payments for CraigsList purchases, you can pay your agent using Paypal! Then the agent can withdraw the cash and deliver the cash to me. Isn't that absolutely brilliant???!!!! I figured that since you trust the agent to pick up the bass and get it delivered safely there is absolutely no reason not to trust the agent with the cash.. right? Wow; this is really going to happen for you; I'm so excited for your son! Let me know when the agent will be coming to my area and I'll make arrangements to meet him. Hey, I have an even better brilliant idea! After the agent has the cash, give me his info so I can just contact him directly to make arrangements, and let me know where he's coming from so that I can make arrangements to meet him! Hey, happy to help get this all going for you; no need to thank me.
