Nate e-mails the tennis racket seller three times

Nate:I was wondering whether you could ship the tennis racket overseas to Taiwan.

Re: I'm sorry we don't ship overseas. It's too much trouble.

Nate:I understand you don't have a history of shipping overseas, but I am willing to pay extra for shipping.

Re: Maybe we could make an exception for you if you win the bid.

Re: Yes. You'll get a picture of Serena playing with the racket and a document from her.
