Robert Lee: Hello
I will like to know if this item still up for sale?
Get back to me as soon as possible.
Thanks
I was a little disturbed by the premonition (I will like to know) and the forgotten "is" (if this item still up for sale), but hey, it's internets. I screw stuff up all the time on here. So I replied.
Me: Yep. It's still for sale.

He changed the font of his email to Comic Sans. When I looked at that first curvy hello, I knew it was a scam. Does he really think that a little round font all it takes to gain people's trust? Needless to say, I didn't "feed him out with all this information."
But maybe he was really going to "send payment down" from his castle in the clouds. If he was genuine, I'm sorry. Fortunately there are plenty of other prospective buyers out there:

*Very heavy sarcasm* Isn't it great that you can trust people on the internet?
And hence the facade of Craigslist collapses...
So you're saying that offers "For to buy your good" aren't real?
