Best offer***MacBook Air*** 13.3 - $350 PostingID: 1739067978 This bad economy is forcing us to fault for this attractive deals . Shame on those who take advantage of us. I spend my whole check that week for a Mac Air that I thought I would get for a lot less than what I can afford to pay. I hope no one else fall for this trap. Do not make any wire transation. Deal Locally...I fell for the trap and I lost my money.

Hi,
The is still available, but I'm currently in London, England. Because of the financial crisis, I lost my job in United States and I had to move at my sister in United Kingdom ( here I found a good job ) . The laptop is in perfect condition, and I will sell it only in US because here the warranty and the AppleCare are US registered. I am selling the laptop because I don't use it anymore. I work a lot with and this one can't run this Operating System. Click here : Apple_MacBook_Air to see some pics with the laptop so you can see the condition of the laptop. I bought the laptop 4 months ago and it still has 8 months of Apple transferable warranty remaining ( you can extend the warranty for one year on your name ). I hope you are still interested and we can make the deal happen right away. Since I can't meet you and make the exchange, I would like to use a service that will help us with that: www.tnt.com/tnt.express.london.depot/third_party_service.html TNT is a worldwide delivery company (like Fedex, DHL or UPS). You can see from their procedure that you will be able to check the laptop before I receive the payment. If you are in a hurry, I will use 2 day delivery (on my expense). Let me know what you think. Best Wishes, Anna Halley
