to me
Thanks for the swift reply. I am pleased with your price and i want you to get back to me with more pictures of it if you have them because i am presently out of town on a business trip and i could not come over to check it out,but no worries as i am willing to handle the pick up of this through a legitimate shipping agent. It will be picked up after the payment has been made, i want you to know that i can only conclude this transaction only via PayPal. I have been cheated via check and bank transfer before, that is the reason why i selected PayPal (www.paypal.com) as the mode of payment because PayPal is the best online payment, so both of us could be on the safer side. if my mode of payment is accepted get back to me with your paypal ID. Here are some questions i would like to know,
1) What is the condition?
2) Are you the First Owner?
3) Your Pick Up Location Address?
4)PayPal Email address or send me an invoice.
I awaits your reply,
regards

I assume he would either:
-try to get me to login to a bogus PayPal site front to capture my username and password
-overpay me on this bogus site and try to get me to return the overpaid portion'
-actually pay me, have someone pickup my instument, then file a paypal complaint and get them to give the money back
