Here is one I got today which doesn't pass the smell test.

Good to hear back from you and I'm okay with your asking price I'm buying it for my cousin in abroad , I want you to get back to me with your PayPal email address and some detailed pictures of this item so that I can pay in asap. I'll add the shipping fee to the total payment I'll be sending Thanks.

Do you agree I should tell the person "No dice?"

Jerry,
List your price as FIRM. Make sure you meet in a place were others are around. I would even take a friend with me. Also, you may not want to sell out of state, but just nearby. Make sure that is clear. I have sold items and purchased items. I just purchased Monfrotto tripod a few weeks ago. But just make sure they do not know where you live. I always meet somewhere.

Not sure, I used Craig's List only once many years ago to sell a cell phone and it went smoothly.

Jerry, it runs until you remove it. If it sells remove the ad. If it doesn't, remove at your convenience.

It's a scammer, probably from Nigeria. I encountered several of them while trying to sell a camera. I will sometimes have a bit of fun with them, lead them along until they give up. They always want you to ship the merchandise somewhere.

I usually conduct my transaction, cash only, at a nearby gas station or at a fast food restaurant.

Totally agree with you.

I only use Craig's list to find the availability and price range of items - like you have found there are just too many flakes on it for me.

I've also received strange replies on craigslist.
Some people have nothing better to do than waste others time.
Don't give out your email, if they are serious the can contact you via craigslist.
It takes all kinds so be careful.

Just what I have needed to learn.

Thanks.

Absolutely, its a scam.

Thanks for the advice. I will disregard offers like this in the future.

The person supplied their phone number (somewhere in SC) and I considered calling it to see what kind of a foreign accept the person has...but, I can't be bothered.

You seem rather tight in the sphincter.

A few recent incidents locally have also prompted our local police dept to recommend meeting potential Craigs List buyers at the Vancouver Police dept.
