Thanks for the mail.I will take it for $100 .I really want to buy it. For the pick up,have arranged for that, my shipping agent will come for the pick up as soon as the payment is settled, I just contacted my client in the US who is going to make the payment for me as he is owing me some money and he said he wants to pay with Money Order .I am not an American so you guys know the most preferable option. My client will be sending the Money Orders of $3000 so i expect that the excess funds on it be sent back via western union to my shipping agent , as this will be used for shipping arrangement. As soon as i get your full name and address including your contact number to which the payments will be issued and sent then i will immediately instruct my client to send you the Money Order. I look forward to trustworthy transaction with you, expecting your mail the soonest. and also tell me if i can count on you to send back the balance or not.
Thank you once again.
cheers

They send you a rubber check or payment, and you are supposed to pay them back the difference. If you pay them immediately you won't realize the payment they sent you is no good, until they are sipping on large quanties of free wine.

IE if you've ever accepted a personal payment say through eBay, you should always sit on the check so it clears before sending out the items sold.

This scam just involves more broken english than eBay...typically.
