Emax

Hi Tony,

First of all, thanks for the offer, I'm definitely interested. 

When will your unit be available ? I can't tell you how bad I want my Emax to get up and running with some sounds. So,if yours is available now, that's good, but if you need a couple weeks more to do your transfers, then I'll pass.
I am currently bidding on two drives on Ebay, set to end this weekend. I'm determined to win one of them. The good thing is that my max bid is low, so if I don't do the last second bid again thing, I'll probably lose.
If your drive is available now, then how would I go about buying it ? Actually, I'd like to know how do you buy anything on this forum ? I can't post my personal info. here , so how do you guys buy sell and trade stuff ? 
Let me know. The good thing about yours is that it's relatively new and it works, already tested.
Also, if I do purchase it, I'll pay via PayPal. The only thing I ask is that, I pay you right away,you ship it out right away. 

Thanks again for the offer.

Regards,
Lori
