Ty. Well here is the chain of events as best as I remember them.
This thread was started and I wanted the lab top since I needed one and this one was cheap. For some reason my pms weren't working for whatever reason but the day later they were. So I shot him a pm and reposted in this thread. Here are a copy of the pms.

"Sorry. For whatever reason my private messages werent working. They are now. I still want that lab top if still available for full price."

"I would really like to purchase this lab top from you as I could really use it. Unfortunately I have a busy schedule over the next two days (Friday and Saturday) so I'll rarely be home. I'll be trying to catch you at my friends house so I can finalize details. I am willing to pay the price requested plus full shipping. Please just give me the full amount (As I said I would prefer it to get here quicker so I am willing to pay more shipping for it to get here quicker so I'm guessing shipping will be around ) and the account and on which site you want payment. I will send immediately when I see and get access to a cpu.
My shipping details are listed below;
Name: --------
Country: ---------
State: --------
City: -----
Zip Code: -------
Address: -------
If you need anything else let me know. "

"I wanted payment first. I will send the laptop once I get payment. I have been a member of twoplustwo for a longtime, and I have had other successful transactions. Let me know if you can pay the price I requested + shipping BEFORE I ship it. Thanks"

"yes I can send before you ship. I am not home right now. I will be back at home in about 9 - 12 hours. I will ship payment then. I do need to know your pokerstars account though so I can ship funds. Please let me know how much I need to send you for shipping also since I don't know how much that will be for you so I can just send the total up front."

"Ok thanks for understanding. my pokerstars username is el_pedrin0. Please do the research for me, I'm terrible at fineding information. I am in the United Kingdom. Find the shipping service you would like.
380$ + shipping please. Find the shipping company etc. I am free most of the time so let me know when you found the company you want to use. if you cant be bothered i will use the royal mail but it might be slightly expensive than some online shipping comp anies. . i will find out the prices when i go down to the post office tomorrow. i wont be on in the morning that is an awkward time for me."

The rest of the pms are not relevant though they are available upon request. I also can see if my msn logged my conversations with him.
Basically after this I sent the $$ + shipping in two different transactions after which he told me shipping was more (way more) then originally intended and I shipped that $$ as well (It was supposed to be 1-3 day shipping international). I told him I wanted the product by April 2 and he said he shipped about a week (estimating) before then. Below is my transaction history to prove I sent the $$$.
Left the last name in there because I did not want to edit anything for validity reasons.
Obviously, I have yet to receive the product yet (Acer Aspire). Quite disappointing as this would be my first transaction on the site and give some credibility.
