Hi
I still have the TV. The TV is in perfect shape (take a look at the attached pics) and it comes with 18 months of transferable warranty.
I am now in United Kingdom. I have been relocated here with my work several months ago. The TV is a US version and I think I can sell it for a better price in the US.
Since I can't meet you and make the exchange, I would like to use a service that will help us with that. Please go here to see the procedure:
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 day delivery (shipping is on me).
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Susan

Two day delivery sounds way cool. If it's gonna cost you too much, regular duration shipping is fine. Let me know about the details.
Thank you

OK, super.
I see that you don't know how our deal will work out. Did you read TNT's procedure on their website? It is explained there how their service works. Let me know after you read their procedure so I can be certain that we are on the same page:

Hi Susan
I read the procedure, In am not sure how difficult it will be to pay for this transaction. I am guessing it will be fairly simple. I am ok with. We can go ahead with the deal.
Thanks

I went to TNT today. The guys from TNT told me that they will send the TV to their technical department for inspection and then they will notify you. They will also notify you with the instructions you need to complete your end of the deal. Please complete your end as soon as you can and keep me posted.
Thanks,
Susan

These guys are somehow linked to TNT site and when they are emailing it appears that it is being generted by TNT.

I asked my wife to wire the money. The associate at the Westren Union was reluctant about doing this. My wife ended up wiring anyways and then we got ripped off.
