I’d prefer the item to be shipped via USPS Express Mail with insurance included. Please let me know if that works for you. I will be sending a cashier’s check and will include an additional $85 to secure the item and deter other buyers. Once the check clears your bank, we can move forward with shipping.

Your Response to this Ad:

Due to the amount of non-ham scammers trying to respond to the ads, I am now asking a simple question that ham operators should easily be able to answer, but scammers may not know the answer: What is the number that hams use to represent the phrase "Best Regards"? This number is typically transmitted by hams at the end of a QSO.
Best Regards:
