    Who spells "E! mail" for email and who gives you there first and last name? I've never tried to sell anything on CL but I've always tried to buy things. My point is I've NEVER wrote a whole paragraph like that and tell the person I'm ready to buy right away. I think CL prices are almost always open to negotiating.

    It's a scam.

    I'd write him back and ask him to learn how to properly use the canned scam bait e-mail before trying to rip people off.
