Hello

I saw your item listed on
several locations. It has the same photos,
same description but a lower price! Is this yours or this guy is trying
to scam us?
Take a look at the post and
please advice:
http://craigslist.org/cto/1941057764.html
because I
really don't want to lose my money.
I want to make sure
we are talking about the same item.
In case the above link doesn't
work, copy and paste in to your browser. Please let me know.
Also please reply and leave me
your phone number 'cause I tryed to call
you several times but I had no luck.
Sincerely
