This is an email I got from the high bidder moments after the auction ended. Edited only to protect me and buyer. Oh yeah, and he just registered on Ebay, Today, Oct 13th.
He has an yahoo email address
Dear Seller,
Thanks very much for your email.I have contact my
shipper and he told me that he will come for the pick
up of the XXXXX (auction title),from your place as soon
as this transaction is sealedBut if there is any need to
contact my shipping agent here is there email address
address:johndoe@anonymous.com
This is how the payment will be made a client of
mine is owing me some fund in $4000 will instruct him
to issue a check drawn on a united state bank in your
name and once the cashier's check clears in your
bank,You will deduct the cost of the ADVERT and any
tax incurred and my balance will be send back to my
shipper via western union money transfer for immediate
shipping arrangement.
The reason for this is that it takes 1-2 days for a
check to clear there while it takes a longer time for
a cheque to clear here. If this is okay with you do
get back to me with your full name,contact address and
your phone number in order to instruct my client to
issue the check in your name asap Thanks for your
understanding in anticipation and hope to read from
you asap today.
Best regards,
Buyer,
I will compensate you with $50 to remove the ad from
the internet as i want you to consider it sold to me.

Buyer,
I want to fully understand you intent:
1.) Your client (shipper) will send us a cashiers check for $4,000.
2.) We will deduct all costs incurred for shipping, handling and western union fees etc.
3.) Upon the clearing of cashiers check in our bank we will send the balance back to your client via western union along with the camera.
4.) Your client will ship to you the camera and the remaining balance.
We would like a signed statement from you authorizing us to send the camera that you are purchasing to your client rather than directly to you, releaseing us from any further liabililty.
Thank you,
Joshua
