oh when wildcat_lgf was gettin the leathers i remember him talking about a LC. What costs are associated with these?

[Biff]

Western Union are bloody expensive. I find that direct bank transfers are always cheaper (£1000 +).

Thomas Cook do a money transfer service of which I have heard good report

Don't do it mate. I have just had someone try buy a cellphone off me and attempted to pay by WU. Seems honest enough until they ask you to provide shipping details before the money is in hand. Get all the details and faxs ect.

If the buy goes belly up, at least your mate will have a chance at recovering the money.

Western Union is the payment medium of choice of internet scammers. Ebay for instance cautions against using it. Better to go to a mainstream bank and see what they propose.

cheers for the advice guys will pass on, as the deal seems a bit shakey to start with will tell him not to go ahead unless he can organise it through other means
