tomut1 aka tom cruise sent me a fishy message

Hello,

Greetings to you there.I'm Tom Cruise by name.I came across your ads post on pinkbikeand i must say i'm highly interested in knowing more.I've read through the ads and i'm okay with all what you stated in there but would like to make this a fast deal as i need it as soon as possibleSo kindly get back to me with the total cost and the full payment information on how and where i can mail the check to immediately.I won't be able to come and pick it up so i would send my shipping agent to come over and do that but that would be done immediately after the payment has cleared.

So kindly get back to me as soon as possible with the requested information.
I await your prompt response.Till then,take care and have a splendid,fun and nice time ahead.
K. Regards,
Tom Cruise

Considering the guy wants to give you an additional $150 over your $300 asking price, I would say something is fishy. Who would offer to pay more than the asking price? If he is willing to pick them up like he says, go for it. He can't screw you if it is a face to face deal.

if one were to take that literally, then yes, he could very well do that.

interesting choice of words, laurie.

R-Jaster will agree to sell you something COD for one price and then ship for a way higher price.

I agreed to spend $80 including shipping at first because I saw an ad on an online bike shop that had the same fork for $60US. Then I agreed to spend $90 including shipping and he shipped it for even more money.

Now he's getting his parents to call my house at all hours of the night harassing me.

except that we agreed on $90. and my mom sent the fork so i wasn't there to ship it for that price and we agreed that i would send you $10 after you picked the fork up so that the price was $90 for you instead of $100 that you would pay the post office. the check is still waiting to be sent. but since you are flipping out about $10 which you would have got anyways I guess you dont have a fork. So it is not my fault taht you did not follow through with the deal.

more like you are the scammer. you cost me $40 over nothing
