Advice on CraigList Sale

i have a dining table for sale on craigslist and I get an email from a potential buyer and he said he wanted to pay with check so i said ill take a money order not a check and he replies with this:

-------------------------------------------------------
Hello
The payment would be sent by UPS Courier Service and
the item will be picked
up as soon as you receive my payment,I will wait for
the payment to get
cashed. Then I will instruct my shipper to get in
contact with you for the
pick up schedule time.I will like to tell you that i
would be sending a
certified check worth of $1500 to cover the shipment
of the item bought.Assoon as the certified check
reaches you,have it cashed and remove your money
for the item and send the remaining fund to my
shipper by western union
money transfer. My shipper is also picking some of my
other items at the
same city of yours,that is why you need to transfer
the amount to him.I will
like you to remove $100 for the trouble I have caused
you during the
transaction period.Please let me know if i can trust
you on this so we can
move forward from here. Regards
