Possible Scam?

Got this email today, could this be a scam? Maybe I'm too paranoid, but sounds kinda fishy to me? Any comments from any of you?

Hi, I noticed your post on the anandtech forums looking to sell your toshiba
laptop: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=45&threadid=1176656

I noticed that you would accept some trades for a good desktop system. I am
looking to sell my MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU (w/ RAID), Athlon XP 2200+ proc, and 512MB
of Corsair XMS PC3000 DDR RAM. Just wondering if you would consider these +
cash for the laptop. I've also got some other misc things that I could throw
in to sweeten the deal like a 10/100 NIC, 20GB HDD, 420W PSU, ThermalTake HSF,
and a 16mb nVidia Vanta graphics card (not great for gaming,but perfect for
windows applications and dvd's) basically a whole system without the case or
removable media drives.

I'm not registered on the anadtech forums, and I'm kind of new to the forum
trading/selling thing, but I've got an account and a few dozen posts on the
hardforums, and I've conducted most of my business through eBay, but I've got a
little bit of heat too.

It don't sound like scam, but just in case I would ask for the guy's number and speak to him over the phone and get his mailing address through the conversation.
