horrible grammar, doesnt mention the item youre selling, out of the country, "your last asking price", and the classic cheezy ending, 99% sure its a scam

and he probably wants all of your info to send you a shizload of spam

and my response.....

You don't need all that info for this transaction. I gave you my name, you have my email address and the street address, province. You don't need my phone #. When I see cash being transfered, then i'll comply.




lets see what he'll say...i'm betting some bull about his agent needing it all. I'll ask for his agents phone # in the next one
