Hi,
I see that you posted expressing interest in my Lealana .1 BTC MS66 coin.
Where would shipping be to?
Regarding escrow providers, I would accept Tomatocage, Quickseller or PsychoticBoy as escrow, although I am willing to use any reputable escrow.
Let me know if you want to make an offer.
Kind Regards

Hi,
You had just posted in my thread implying that you did not receive my last PM. I am sending the PM that I previously sent to you again.

I apologize, i didn't see the pm, the forum has been sending me strang email and acting erractically sorry!
Shipping would be to USA, SF, CA.
I have had some problems lately so im not sure of this yet, but can you come down any at all on price? Thanks!

No worries on the missing of the PM.
Feel free to make an offer that you think is fair and hopefully we can make an arrangement.
Kind Regards

I will send you a PM
When? Tomorrow? Thanks!
I had sent you a PM within ~2 minutes of me making that last post. I additionally just send you a second follow up PM.
Additional Notes: This was a very traumatic experience, and I am not sure how I am going to recover from this. Any moral support would be greatly appreciated.
