I put my old man emu coil springs on craigslist and got this response from a potential buyer:

Hello ,

I appreciate your response to my inquiry,i would have love to come
down for a look but i have no chance now. I am very busy at work for
an assignment but i am satisfy with the description and the condition
of the item.. I will like to make payment right away, and i will be
sending your payment for the item. with a cashier check, because i
have no chance to come down and i will like you to please bear with
me. And as for the pick up of the item i will know how to handle that
with my mover, as soon as you cash the payment the mover will come for
the pick up as soon as possible. All you have to do is to mail me and
give me the description to your place to make it easier for the mover
to come and do the pick up as soon as you cash the payment. I will
send you your payment as soon as you give me the info to write the
payment. I have red through the advert and i am okay with it, so
kindly withdraw the advart from the web and please get back to me with
your Full Name that will be on check, Home and Mobile Phone ,Home
Address, City,State, Zip Code.....Please go and withdrawl the advert
on net to avoid disturbance as i have believe its almost mine
now.Please mail me as soon as possible to let me know if you are ok
with this.

Regards

something just doesn't sound right to me. I could be wrong.

Seems perfectly legit to me. Be sure to send him all of your banking information too, along with your social security number.
:agree:

It just struck me as odd because of all the demands. All of a sudden i'm no longer in control over the sale. Do this, do that, do this, do that......

I sent a reply asking if he had a 8.8 or dana 60 axle. i'll find out if he actually has a jeep.

i have gotten about 5 of those for the tires i have for sale on craigslist. I reply with asking for a trade and never get an email back.

i also got an email about how i should list them on ebay, with links to related items (WEIRD)

Yeah I don't like the way it sounds either. It is worded like one of those Nigerian scams.

I would do some reseach on money order scams and see if anything pops up.

The other thing would be to tell the guy that you only accept PayPal. If you don't have a PayPal account set one up, takes a few minutes.

I mean who likes going and getting a Money Order anyway when you can just use your card online through PayPal.

You know people print their own "fake" money orders these days.

It reads like it has been translated by a program from some language to English. "avoid disturbance"? I had one other idea, but what would Yoda need with Jeep parts?
