Ok as many of you know here, I've been trying sell my truck within the last couple weeks. I posted my truck on Craigslist and so far I've had some luck but not the price range I would like to let it go for.
I've had a couple hits off of craigslist including two people who came to look at my truck yesterday one offered $2,500 for it another guy was interested in purchasing it (he was hoping by Tuesday at the latest) but he later decided not to after consulting his fiancee, and had the deal gone thru he was going to give me what I'm asking for it.
So I've had one offer of a trade for a 97 Camry with 141k but I turned him down for my own reasons.
And then I got this email.
To me it seemed real sketchy but read on and tell me if it sounds legit:

Hello,
I am interested in the immediate purchase of your item placed on Craigslist and I will like to ask few questions before I proceed on the purchase.
1 :- Is the item available for sale ?
To answer your question yes, it is.
2 :- What is the condition of the item ?
As you can see from the pictures on Craigslist, it's in good condition for a 12 year old truck, these pictures were taking just yesterday afternoon.
3 :- Do you accept a cashiers check as mode of payment?
Contact me for more details.
4 :- Where is the item located ?
Nashua, New Hampshire
5 :- What is the final price of the item ?
Final price is $2,900
6 :- Will you be able to send more pictures to see how it look likes ?
Yes I will gladly send you more pictures of the truck.
7 :-Will you allow my Shipper come to your house for the pick up of the
item cos I don't want you to worry yourself about the shipping of the item.?
Before I deal with shipping my truck I need to know who I am speaking with, I am more apt to talking over the phone instead of emails. This way I know the person I am talking to too is legit.
8 :- Will you be able to wire the Shipping fess via western union money
transfer to my shipper cos the total payment which include the shipping
charges and some other commissions needed to get the item to its
destination would be issued altogether on the check?
If the buyer is out of state, and wants the truck shipped to their current location, he or she is responsible for that option, I don't hold any responsibility on how the buyer wants to retrieve the vehicle once the sale is complete.
9 :- If accepted kindly get back to me with your full name and contact
address including your phone number so that my client can mail out the check right away?
Again, I do apologize for this but as I mentioned I would rather speak to you personally over the phone instead of giving out my information to your client.
Thanks
