What to do with a scammer?

So, I'm trying to sell some stuff on a local website (including computer desk/chair). I got an email from some guy in NY (supposedly) who wanted to buy all my stuff. Now I know that some people just find anything online and assume it is in thier area, and try to buy it if English isn't thier first language. So I thought I'd be nice, and let him know about the distance and cost to ship something like that..

So now I know that he's one of the many people pulling the "I'll give you a bunch of money, and you pay me back the rest" scammers.

Is there anything fun I can do with this guy other than giving him my address so he'll waste a stamp sending me a Money Order from the 'Firit Natoinle Bank of Nigeria'?

He identified himself as Alex Collins (a_collins@secureroot.com) and said the VP of his company is at vpbelliscooperativecom@jojomail.com.
 
A VP wouldn't have an email address at his own companie's domain? Yet alone store his email on jojomail.com?

Hahahahaha
