The problem with America is stupidity.
I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment
for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

The person who sent the email could be someone from Nigeria looking for email addresses.

The postal service doesn't take kindly to mail fraud. I say have him send the money order, take it in and have them verify it and if it turns out to be fake maybe they can take down one of these azzholes.

It's a scam.
I have received many emails like this whenever I posted something in the classified. The whole text is 90% similar to the one you just received. A lot of them have "[Your item]" in it. Some of them simply grab the post titie into the text, like "[Your ST200 wheels, new, never mounted]".
Just delete them.

Yep, it's a scam. Got them for my SHO. Basically what you have there plus "Where do you want the $ sent?" I replied... "Don't you want to drive it?" Then he said he'll be sending someone to pick it up to load it up on a trailer. Umm sure.
