Here is an email I got in response to my ad here on the forums
I have sold alot of stuff so have recieved hundreds like it, I can see a scam a mile away in an email, this one is easy and normally I dont even take the time to respond, But this one was so bad it is funny.
To those unfamiliar with the scammers, if I replied to the questions the next email would be for my address so they could send me a cashiers check for around 2k more then the selling price, and a request to forward the 2k to their shipper, the check would come back bad in a few weeks and I would be out the 2k....
I thought some might get a kick out this one as it is so bad as to be laughable.

Sure I will take a bad check, and then I would of course be happy to send the excess funds to your shipper.
