Dear Sir,
The item is new,sealed in the original box and comes
with the factory accesories.It is 100% insured and has
1(one) year of US warranty.We are a US founded company
with electronics and hardware stores in
Spain,Italy,Germany,France,Switzerland,Sweden,Norw ay,Finland,Island.
Our main store is in Madrid,Spain.Our policy for
E-commerce does not allow us to ship you the item
directly from our store.We tried this method but not
with satisfactory results.
We agreed with eBay(as well with other auction sites
like uBid or Yahoo Auctions) to send our high priced
items(like notebooks,plasma TV�s etc) to its warehouse
and be inspected first.By this method both
sides(seller and buyer) are insured by eBay Square
Trade.The shipping will be sent to your adress from
Ebay�s warehouse in Santa Fe,CA ,where the items are
now.
This is preaproved auction,that means that you are not
allowed to bid or buy the item until payment is
completed.
The payment must be sent on the name of our sales
manager Ms.lois stacy to Madrid,Spain.The adress of
our spanish store is:Serrano street,no 5,Madrid,zip
code 28033,Spain.
As payment we prefer Western Union wire transfer and
if you want to use your credit card please visit this
site:
www.westernunion.com and make a deposit for only
999$US.After I see you make this deposit I will send
the item and I will wait 10 days to deceide if you
like our items and realy want to keep it.If you don't
like our item you can send back and we will send your
money back imediately.If you see all that we say in AD
is ok and you want to keep thi product you will send
the rest of the money.
Advantages of the Western Union Service :
years of experience in the Money Transfer business
locations worldwide in more than 186 countries
transfer fee charged to the sender
funds available within minutes worldwide
always local currency (usually cash)
easy - no bank accounts or lengthy procedures
reliable - proven track record
convenient - open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, 364
days of the year
high level of security - authorized users only
Ebay will send you a confirmation mail as soon as you
ask a question as "Question for Seller" to backup por
legitimacy and auction.
Thank you for trusting our company.
