I got a reply email to my craigslist post 2 days ago asking if my car was still for sale. My response was, "yes, do you have any questions?"
the presumed buyer responded with the following email:
"Thanks for your response, I am quite okay with your price, I need you
to understand that i am willing and ready to purchase it right
away, put it off the AD site, consider me as your favorite buyer, and
Please note that i have a shipper/mover who handles my shipping
arrangement anywhere in the world, she would be coming for the
pickup, after you have received payment, which would be through
PayPal, If this is acceptable, advice soon as i am a Sailor and i am
buying this for my son as a surprise gift, So kindly get back to me
with the present condition of it and also some pictures of it, I can
only pay through PayPal at the moment as i do not have access to my
bank account online, but i have it attached to my PayPal account, and
this is why i insisted on using PayPal to pay, all i will need is your
pay pal email address to make the payments and some pictures if you do
not have a PayPal account yet, its pretty easy to set one up at
www.paypal.com, i will be expecting your email. I have a pick up agent
that will come for the pick up after payments has been sorted."
In response, i told her i would keep her as a serious buyer and told her to call me so i could give her some information about the car, and she responded that she couldn't make or recieve calls considering her job but asked for my paypal email.
Im sure i ended the interest in my sale, because i refused to accept paypal as a form of payment, just to be safe. No response back yet.
