Scammer:
Hello, is your item still in goood condition........
Me:
yes it is in very good condition. however, the blue cold cathodes went out so i am ordering a new kit. those pictures were very recent right after the cold cathodes went out. it went out because i was using a very old dual inverter, and there is no problem with power. i have it hooked up currently to a voltmeter and i am watching my input voltage and output voltages are fine. there are no surges in the case either.

Scammer:
Thanks for your reply concerning my enquiry.I am interested in the
item and my only method of payment is by sending you a standard money
order via {US Postal Money Order} because it's the fastest and secure
way of sending money and also funds are highly guaranteed. I can't
use paypal any longer because i have been ripped off by it
before,inorder to know more about this ,kindly go to: www.paypalsucks.com
This is how {US Postal Money Order} works :
Once payment has been made, both the buyer and seller are notified by
{US Postal Money Order} via email that the transaction has been
processed and approved. After this approval confirmation, {US Postal
Money Order} will then mail out your money order directly to your
residence within 3-5 business days which will arrive by mail and will
be in U.S funds. I just wanna present this item to my fiance as a
gift. As for the shipping of the item, it will be done through my
FedEx account, so you don't have to pay for any shipping charges
after shipment has been made. Inorder for me to complete this
transaction through my {US Postal Money Order} account, all i need
from you is your full name,address and likewise your phone so as to
know where payment will arrive after receiving the approval
notification confirming on your payment. I look forward in doing
business with you.
N.B
Since the system is still in great condition,i am willing to make an
offer for an amount of $1110 including packaging.
