Okay I have my sled advertised in three places, here, SF, and craigslist. I recently got this email.....

Hello Matt D.,
Thanks for your mail, I really do appreciate it, Well Everything sounds well and I guess that the { 1996 Yamaha Vmax 600 XT } is in excellent condition and I am okay with the price $1300 and I will be willing to offer you $1350 for it. So, I would want you to keep all other buyer's off and also delete the advert from the website. Concerning payment my client will issue you a USPS Money Order, since I don't have the funds in your currency. For convenient and easy transaction, I have a liable shipping agent who'd be responsible for the Pick up as soon as you receive payment for the { 1996 Yamaha Vmax 600 XT } .I will therefore need the following information of yours to forward my client before he sends the
Money Order.
NAME IN FULL........
ADDRESS IN FULL....
CITY.......
STATE...
COUNTRY..........
ZIPCODE.......
CELL/OFFICE/HOME
PHONE NUMBER.
I await your urgent response.
Thanks!
Logan S.

I am the second owner. I bought it last January with 1400 miles on it. It
now currently has 2050 miles. It is a very clean machine, there are a couple
minor cracks in the hood and one in the nose cone. I am putting a newer
track on it this week, that has 96 studs down the middle, in good shape.
Also it has new hyfax and carbides, and a 2" powermadd handle bar riser. I
would really rather not ship it, but I may be able to meet you part way for
the cost of fuel. The price is $1300 USD or best offer.

Now I don't know if its just me or does something just feel fishy about this. I also sent him another email saying I would really rather not ship it, and there is a 1300 mile distance between us.

Dude! It is a Scam! Come on! Just sell the damn thing to some guy that comes to the house looks it over & gives you cash! This is been on here 500 times! it is just some jerk that sends out these to every new listing trying to get you to ship (whatever) When they send a fake Money order! The guy never read the ad! Also now that you have had contact with these people by emailing them back you will get all kinds of junk Emails for the rest of your life!!!!
