Thanks for your swift response, I'm seriously interested in buying this for my partner, your asking price is quite reasonable and affordable considering others I've seen lately, I'll take it. I would have loved to come check it out my self but am currently in camp as military seer instructor for new recruits. I won't be able to leave the base until 22th of July this year, I however squeezed out time to check this posting as all personal dealings are highly restricted here, i really want this as a surprise gift for my Partner, so i won't let him know anything about this until it get delivered to him and due to the fact that phone calls making are restricted......I will be paying you with my PayPal account because it's attached to my bank account and its safe and very secure way to make payment. If
my mode of payment is accepted just send me your PayPal email address,(PayPal ID) so i can pay in right away. I have a private courier agent that will come for the pick up after payment has been made, so no shipping included. I'll need your name, the pickup address or location and please include your PayPal email address for the payment and send me some recent pictures if available . I await your reply asap
Thanks.

I can accept paypal if need be, but I would prefer a face to face cash transaction though.
