Anonymous Buyer"

" i’m interested & satisfied with the price and condition. I’m cool with the price like wise the condition as described on the advert on My mode of payment will be check and it going to be mail out to you via FedEx kindly get back to me with your full name, address, state, city, apt# "

He'll send you a check in excess of your price so you can pay the shipper. Check won't clear but by then he'll be silent.
Don't give any personal information out.
Last time this happened to me I played along, finally requesting hookers and beer as part of the deal.
That shut him up.
