Hello,I'm must say,Im quite okay with your reply.Likewise your asking price is reasonable considering others I've seen lately, I'm going to buy it for $2,000. I would have love to come myself or call you at least to see what am buying but I've just been discharged from the hospital due to a bomb blast injury I sustained in Kabul,Afghanistan in September and my Orthopedic Doctor advice that I should be on wheelchair for 11 months for my bone to recuperate. I will start making arrangement concerning the pickup at your place once,so you've got nothing to worry about the shipping because am going to handle the shipping by myself cos i had a Pickup agent that will come and Pick the item up at your location after Payment has been sort out between us so do get back to me with your Pick-up location address where the item will be picked up so as to forward it to the shipping and logistics firm for them to calculate the shipping cost for me and also your PayPal email account so as to proceed on with the Payment if you don't have an account with PayPal you can set up an account today as it's secured and reliable visit their website onwww.PayPal.com it will only take you 5minutes to do that and i promise you that i will be responsible for the  PayPal fees/charges on this transaction i will be expecting your Pickup location address and your PayPal email account so as to proceed on with the transaction in timely manner.Hope to Read from you soonest
