I recently posted a few items on craigslist, to one I get this response.

Let me know if the item is still available,and why you want to sell it?

I responded back thinking it was a legitimate request. Then comes this response.

Hello,
Thank you for the prompt response to my inquiry.I am very much satisfied with the condition and price of the item and i will like to make an outright purchase immediately,so i will advice that you withdraw the ad from the web. Pls i will like to know how you intend to proceed on this but i would prefer that i issue a certified check in US dollars to your location and upon the confirmation and clearance of payment my shipper will come for the pick-up at your location.I would really have loved to come for the viewing of the item buti am not chanced but my movers will. If you are okay with this please do get back to me with the following details so i can make out the payment IMMEDIATELY.
1: Your Full Name to be on the payment
2: Your Address and post code
3: Your mobile and land number.
I will expect your Mail ASAP.
Thanks.

To which of course I had to respond with:

Thanks for your generous offer. Since I’ve had so many requests for this item I’ve decided to raise the price to $600, which I still think is a steal given that these are going for $15,000 on the street.

I prefer a briefcase filled with cash, unmarked $20 bills is preferred, your shipper can kindly swap me for the projector when you accept this deal IMMEDIATELY.

Eric

No response yet, but I’ll keep you updated. This pales in comparison to what is posted on 419eater.com (especially getting a would be scammer to get a tattoo).
