I need your help
on: March 31, 2008, 03:58:55 PM
There is a DVD I'm very interested in.
It is about alexander technique applied to piano playing.
The author sells it privately as it have not been released for the market.
I contacted him to ask how to buy it and I was offered a lot of option except my favorites (paypal) or the ones I can use (money transfer from bank to bank)

I was given an address and asked to use a "money order" which is an american thing
which doesn't exist where I live.

So I was hoping that maybe some from USA can buy it using the money order or whatever and send it to me in europe. I will pay all the expenses and the service via paypal, credit card, bank transfer or what you prefer.

So is there anyone who want to help me ?  :-[

I would have thought that you could arrange a money order in dollars almost from anywhere. It would not be very financially astute for someone to restrict themselves to USA market.

If you give me the link, i will have a look. If it looks genuine, i will do it for you.

I contacted my bank and they don't know what a "money order" is.
I asked what option they have that allow me to send money to USA and they told me the only bank operation I can do is transferring money from bank to bank and to do that I would need the bank coordinates of the seller.

A money order is usually a bankers draft drawn in the currency as required by the recipient.

I have sent an e mail as i am interested in this myself.
