Been listing my PS2 on a couple different sites, got one offer today for my original asking price and I want to take it, but I'm not sure if it's legit or not.

The guy wrote me the following email:

Now, if I agree to this, how long til I have the money IN MY HANDS and can be assured there is no fraud? I've never dealt with wired money before so I'm curious.
 
Hahaha it was through a Craigslist posting. Had he not written Nigeria, I wouldn't have been nearly as hesitant. I never trust money grams though. Thanks guys. :beer:
