from 1 to scam what do you rate this?

[Dozy_production 10+ year member]

well i think this is a scam, but i dont really exactly know how it is. I listed my ava 12" and box over on craigslist just wondering if i could get a response. I over charged him because this just seems so fishy. But now it seems like i will be shipping the whole package over seas to India or anything. Im about to back away but just wanted to know what you guys think because if i could some how scam the scammer...

i know i already posted this question in another thread but there have been some new additions.

a list of al emails from him to me:

EMAIL #1

Hello Seller,

My name is John Blader,I have a client who is interested in buying your item,he informed me that the payment will be remmited via a cashiers check America postal money order.Is the price listed firm?In order to conclude the deal as soon as possible,the cashiers check that will be sent to you will include the money for the sales of your item and the shippers fees for organising a home pick up service.You do not need to worry as my shipping company will come to pick the item up from your base for shipment. What I want to clarify is that will you be able to send the shipping charges to the shipping agent in U.S through western union money transfer method as soon as you get and cash the check and you deduct the money for the sales of your item?If you agree to assist in this capacity kindly send your full name,address and your contact phone number.

Scam, had one sent to me.

He'll send for extra cash and expect the extra cash back, usually. You take out what's yours.

It'll take a couple of weeks or at least a few days to detect the cashiers check/money order is fake, by then your merchandise is gone and you're screwed.

Ive gotten a few of those lately. I guess the only way to avoid is is to receive payments before shipment, atleast thats how i do it.
