Here is a striking example:
Good evening
As I told you, I have just received confirmation
of the delivery from the delivery person who will be ready to deliver
to your home this evening
As I mentioned, the delivery person is ready to
come and deliver to you on January 5, 2011, at 5 PM at the address provided along
with all the PS3 papers and other necessary documents
for the sale.
For payment, I do not accept checks because I have already been
taken advantage of once.
There was a malicious person who gave me a check for
€4500 a year ago. I sold him a Yamaha R1 motorcycle, and then I went to deposit the check at the bank where they told me the check was not a good one, it was a forged check, which is why I no longer want to accept
checks.
The delivery person also just told me that for his security, he prefers
not to take cash in hand, and I see that it's normal
because he needs proof that you gave the money to the delivery person
and since I will not be present, I need to be sure
that you have the money on you before giving the go-ahead to the delivery person.
So I will propose a payment method that reassures both of us.
You will prepare a receipt from the post office that you will exchange for the PS3
once the delivery person is at your place,
meaning before I give the go-ahead to the delivery person so that he can start
You will send a money order of €150 at the post office and keep the money order receipt with the password, a code that you will keep with you until the delivery person's arrival.
Because once you go to do the money order at the post office, you will have a form to fill out
where they will ask you to provide your details and also the details of the person
to whom you are sending the money order.
So once you finish filling out the information at the post office, you will have a printed receipt from the post office, and on this receipt, you will have the information you provided and also the password, the code chosen by the post office.
So you must communicate these codes to the person to whom you are sending the money order so that they can collect the money.
Thus, your guarantee is to keep this receipt from the post office securely on you and
keep the codes secret until the PS3 arrives at your place tonight at 5 PM.
After trying out and checking all the PS3 papers,
if the PS3 indeed matches what I told you, then you take out the post office receipt and
you will call me directly in front of the delivery person to confirm the arrival of the delivery person and the handover of the receipt and the code of the money order so that we can go to the post office with this receipt and the code to collect the money after returning the PS3.
In the contrary event or if there is a problem with the PS3 for any reason X, which is impossible,
you can still go to the post office with this receipt to recover your money without any issue and cancel the money order.
But I don't think you will be disappointed because the PS3 is just like in the picture,
no additional costs to anticipate.
For more information, please contact me on my phone 002 29 97 05 11 27.
So if you are okay with the payment, I will provide you with the full details for
the money order at the post office.
Thank you for your response.
Best regards.
