Re: Scams
It's definitely a scam. Not only by the "I'll pay you your price" but the style of writing that goes into these replies to your for sale items. If he is SO busy, as he claims, how does he have time to banter with you about his interest in the bike? How does he have time to look at Craig's list? How does he have time to converse back and forth on what he needs from you? There will always be a conversation back and forth until the hook is set and he gets the property and you're left hanging with no money plus an overdraft or counterfeit check or disputes. The scammers have moved from the counterfeit checks to fraudulent Western Union wires to eBay fraud to Paypal fraud claiming various allegations and disputes. Once the property is released to a carrier, most likely an agent of the fraudster, you are likely to have lost your property - forever. Scammers used to offer above asking price knowing the greed would overrule common sense. Now that the "word" is out about that, they are using various methods to scam honest hardworking people, such as the above listed and other posts.
Good luck with the sale.
