Hi Martin,

We appreciate your honesty and obviously neither of us want a wasted 
journey for you. It's better to know where you stand before setting off.

For a simple payment on collection (cash or card) we would be willing to 
drop it down to £3000. Any less than this and we would pass.

Tuesday 19th we have appointments free after 12:30pm. Have a think and 
let us know if you would like us to pop you in our diary.

If not we will re-list the guitar for general sale.

Kind Regards,
Harriet
Express Music
