Im using this site for the first time and I've just had my first email regarding my ad. Wedding dress - 'A gift for his brother'!!!!???? Wishing I hadn't bothered to post my ad now, if this is the the norm type of responses.

I am ready to pay as demanded for your item,sorry that i can not come for the pick up or viewing of the item due to some personal reasons........am offering you 120 pounds for the postage to my brother in West Africa(Nigeria).and i want it send to him through Parcel force or royal mail international signed for,as a gift to him........please get back to me with the total cost and i will be happy to make the payment to you so get back to me with your pay pal email and name for the payment to me made as soon as possible.
