Am I paranoid of being scamed?

Trying to get ride of old piano that has been sitting in my garage for 10 years.

Mind you I am only asking $300:

Ran a craigslist ad and got this:

Hello,
I appreciate your prompt response to my initial email and I would like to know the lowest price you would go for the piano and will also appreciate more pictures if you still have. I would have been happy to travel down for the pickup and make payment for the piano myself, but I just relocated due to an urgent project. However,I will be willing and glad to pay with a USPS Money Order. I will also arranged with a picker/carrier who will come for the pickup of the Piano at your address or any public place of your choice. The money orders will cover your payment and my picker's payment. Once you've received the money orders, take it to your bank and get it cashed, deduct your payment for the piano and send the remaining funds to the picker for the picking up of the piano. I want to purchase this piano for my daughter who will be starting a musical lesson very soon and she has been all over my neck on this. I'll appreciate it if you consider it sold to me via this means.


To clear any doubts, After payment clears and cash at your bank, then my picker will be coming for the pickup of the piano.I will like to know how your name should appear on the USPS Money Order and what valid residential/office address or public place should I mail it to via UPS courier service.I am ready to make payment as soon as I get your mailing details.You can trust me via this means of payment and it's 100% legitimate. Thanks for selling the piano to me via this means.

Note that my shipper will be coming for the pick-up after you must have successfully received and cashed the money order at your bank. Hope to hear back from you soon.
