"I want to purchase this item to my lovely
Son as agift so i will offer you $300 including the shipping cost to
her so get back to me with your paypal so that i can make the payment as soon
as possible.
Thanks"
Two things here...First, he offers me $300 paypal instead of $200, and I didn't even ask for more. $100 for shipping?? If he's that rich, why doesnt he buy a new one instead of mine?
Second, he says ''to my lovely Son", then he says "shipping cost to her"
WTF is this? Is this some scam I'm missing...the only thing I can think of is a paying with a stolen paypal account, or the other thing would be him opening a dispute as buyer after the sale....
Any ideas??? Thanks!

You should run the other way and not look back. This is a textbook scam on CL. NEVER SHIP using CL. NEVER. I would require CASH ONLY. If someone offers you a MO on the weekend, ignore them -- that is a well known scam too. These fucking thieves should all die!
