>> Hello List,
>>
>> Tom and I need your help and I think this is the first time I ask
>> the List a favor like that. You will remember Tom's "Hup?-like"
>> sell of his Franconia slice with that really nice metal inclusion.
>>
>> I am the winner of the 6.9-gram slice and wanted to send him
>> the due amount via PayPal. We all know that Tom's financial
>> situation is not rosy and he only has a personal paypal account
>> that will not let him take credit card payments.
>>
>> The problem is that he would have to upgrade to a premier or business
>> account but in that case the PayPal folks would charge him for every
>> transaction he does. Of course, he doesn't not sell enough to upgrade
>> to a business account.
>>
>> Would anyone who has a PayPal account, who lives in Arizona, and not
>> too far away from Kingman be willing to circumvent these problems by
>> accepting my payment to them on behalf of Tom and then send that
>> sum to Tom's bank account or as cash directly to him via mail?
>>
>> I could send him cash in an envelope but those on this list from whom
>> I have already bought meteorites will know that I don't want to keep
>> people waiting for their money and I usually pay instantly, even before
>> I have my meteorites in my mailbox.
>>
>> Let's keep this PRIVATE so, please, respond off-list if you think that
>> you are the one who could and would help. No hate mails, please, as we
>> have had enough of them lately and like Terry (StarMeteorites) I am
>> absolutely loath to have any more of these.
>>
>> It would suffice if you wrote: "Yes, I would", it is not necessary to
>> tell me you wouldn't and why you wouldn't ;-)
>>
>> Oh, yes, I also know about bank transfers but they are very expensive
>> and PayPal is really one of the most convenient ways to send money!
>>
>>
>> Best to all,
>>
>> Bernd
>>
>> P.S.: My family and I will be out of town from May 12 till May 17, so no
>> computer(s), no emails, no meteorites, no Meteorite List (Oh boy, how
>> will I survive ...? ;-)
