I replied to this guy's post for a Vaio laptop for $400 on Craigslist. Here is what happens next.

Hello

I still have the laptop.
I have attached some pics with the laptop to this e-mail so you can see the condition of the laptop.
My name Thomas Burns is and I am now in London, United Kingdom.
I hope you are still interested and we can make the deal happen right away.
Obviously we need a safe way to complete this deal that will allow us to make sure we receive what we are after.
I have found a way for us to complete the deal fast (3 days) and easy. The solution is a worldwide delivery company called TNT. TNT is similar to Fedex, DHL or UPS and they will provide assistance in hadling the payment and delivery of the laptop.
With this procedure you will be able to check the laptop before I receive the payment.
Click bellow to go to their website:
http://express-tnt.us/overseas.transactions/details.html
Like I said, I will pay for a 2 days delivery so you will receive the laptop right away.
Let me know what you think.

Best Regards,
Thomas Burns.

Hey Thomas, the website that you sent doesn't seem to be working. Are you sure you sent me the right link? Also, I didn't get the pics you were trying to send. Can you resend them by chance?

Thanks,

He then sends me these shots.

Hello


I will attach the pictures again. I don't know what went wrong the first time.
Please get back to me after you see the pictures.

no really, that's it.

 

[Zaitsevs]

well if you get the laptop BEFORE payment is completed, what's so bad about it?


unless there is a catch

Ask him if you can pay him more than it's worth with a cashier's check and have him refund the difference.
