Is someone trying to scam me on craigslist?

[porksoda 10+ year member]

Well I am trying to sell a dinning table on craigslist.

I had a few phone calls about it but I received a email.

Sounds pretty fishy.

What do you guys think of this?

Him:

Hi,

I'm interested in buying your furniture. Want to know if it`s still available, and what your final asking price is?

Thanks

Fred

Me:

I still have everything available.

Asking $300 picked up. Let me know,

Hello,

I appreciate your response to my inquiry. Am really interested in buying this furniture cus my wife really wants it, and want to make this a surprise for her on our return home. I don't have a choice and have to go with your final price. I just got married and am presently on honeymoon with my wife. I would have loved to come check it out myself but will have to take your word for it on its condition and if possible see more pictures.

I would also like you to withdraw the advert from craigslist as I wouldn't mind adding an extra $10 for that, so that I can be assured that it`s mine. I will be making the payment via a Certified Check, which my secretary will mail across to you.

I'll be using a mover to get the items to my apartment. Will give you details of my mover once you confirm to me you have received and cashed the check. I will need both your full name and physical address along with your phone number to issue out the payment.

Regards,

Fred

I dunno if I should accept a check that is mailed to me.

And he is supposed to be offering me $10 extra to delete post.

Any opinions here?

Who looks for furniture on their honeymoon instead of railing their wife?
