the accessories with the card. Earphones, FM modulator, battery backup, etc. Very important to the whole experience. I'd wager that those cards are probably in that vintage hotbed of Nigeria......

I agree with Tom. No way you should "negociate" (sic) without the accessories being included. What would our gems be without them? Just for fun you ought to ask them exactly what accessories are coming with it.....maybe 4WD, power steering, bucket seats.....

edited to add the misspelling quotations

Once again, my cardinal rule of scam artists is proven correct -- scam artists cannot spell. They also have very little knowledge of punctuation and grammar, although this one did a little better in the grammar department than most.

Have you ever seen someone butcher a word so bad that it makes you forget how to spell it for a minute? I was just looking at that negociate word and it reminded me of the time someone spelled the word "agitator" as "adjetater" and eventhough i just used the right spelling minutes prior i couldnt think of it because the spelling was so Julie-esque that my brain shutdown. I told that person i dont think i ever remember someone not only putting 3 wrong letters in a word,but leaving out 3 of the original letters too

My only reservation about following up to his e-mail is fear of being bombarded by spam and junk e-mails. I do however like the idea of having some "NEW" Clements, wonder what they would be worth?
