Hello

I still have the TV. As I said, the TV was made to be used in USA and it comes with 18 months of warranty.
I have attached some pics with the TV to this e-mail. I am now in Wolverhampton, United Kingdom.
Since I can't meet you and make the exchange, I would like to use a service that will help us with that:

www.tnt.com/tnt.express.wolverhampton.depot/third_party_service.html

TNT is a worldwide delivery company (like Fedex, DHL or UPS). You can see from their procedure that you will be able to check the TV before I receive the payment. If you are in a hurry, I will use 2 days delivery (on my expense).

Let me know what you think.

Best Regards,
Susan

Let me get this straight.....

1. I sent the email inquiring about the TV listed LOCALLY!!!! on Craigslist, but it turns out it is in the UK? FAIL!
2. You want me to use a shipping service no one in the US has heard of before? FAIL!
3. I will pay you only AFTER i have received the TV that is keyed and working only to be used in the UK and not the US? FAIL!

1 + 2 + 3 = SCAM = FAIL!

Thanks for wasting my time! I hate you!
