Hi, many thanks for responding. I am interested in immediate purchase
of these item for my cousin who schools in West Africa (23402) and I'm
buying it as a GIFT. I will not be able to pick up the item from your place,
because I'm currently out of States for a conference meeting in Spain. I
will add $150 to your money to cover the shipping fee via USPS Express
Mail Service EMS. I will pay you the money via PayPal, because its fastest
and most secured way to send and receive money on online transaction.
kindly get back to me with your PayPal email address, and I will proceed
with the payment instantly.
Best Regards.
