It's been 2 days, and so far I have received 3 email responses to the posts. Two of the three are the pushiest scammer emails I have ever seen.
Behold, an excerpt:
I will like to buy the kitchen table sets
so pls do withdraw the advert from Craigslist. I will also like to
inform you that i will be paying via cashier check due to the distance
as i am located in Connecticut.
Basically this guy's telling me, he will buy my table and I am forbidden to sell to anyone else. Also, he'll be paying with a cashier's check for maximum scammability, and he's sending his mover's over to beat me up and take the table even though the check was worth no more than garbage.
Another fabulous contender likes to use ellipses for maximal creepy effect:
I am interested in the item you have up there in yourposting....What i would wish is a hassle free purchase...What i do need from you is an address where you can receive the check and also a full name that i could have it issued to thats if you are ready for transaction...It is going to be an overdraft cashier check.Do send me the necessary info i requested for so that the check would be sent out to you in no time.I'll send the movers to you for pick up...And maybe the bold font will intimidate me into throwing all of my cash at the movers when they come over.
The third email I received simply asked if the desk was still available. Maybe that lead will actually be a real human wanting to exchange money for furniture. Here's hoping.
