Thanks for the reply, i am a sailor, i am at sea right now so l wont be able to check the item but l need more details about the item because am buying this for my son as a surprise gift so am willing to offer you the amount you required. I can only pay through PayPal at the moment as i don't have access to my bank account online(i don't have internet banking with it), 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 PayPal email address to make the payments, and if you don't have a PayPal account yet, you can set one up at www.paypal.com  it cant take you less than 3mins to do that, i will be expecting your PayPal email so l can pay. I have a pick up agent that will come for the pick up after payments has been sorted. l will be waiting for your reply asap

Must be a scam.  I received the exact email, word for word on something I have for sale on Craig's List too. I was just researching how they can pay and ran across this email.
