Need Your Help On An E-Bay Call

Alright, I've been talking to this guy for the past couple days and he sounds a lot like a scammer. He wants to buy my 2 MAX'es + the box, but I'm going to cut and paste the correspondences (don't worry, they're pretty short)

First one:

Hello I am an agent interested in immediate purchase of your item.After several consideration over the advert placed on the website,my client who has really shown interest in it and would really want to issue the payment in form of Money order.Will you be accepting a Money order? The Money order that will be drawn by my client would include the cost for shipping this item to my client and my commission would be included on the same Money order .We shall solely be responsible for the shippment of the item. Provide your CONTACT NAME,ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER if you are interested in selling so that I can have it forwarded to my client for immediate payment issuance. Please contact me asap via email for futher questions as regards this transaction.If you really show willingness in selling this item asap.Thank You and I am expecting your response asap. BEST REGARDS

Then I asked him for more info:

Thanks so much for your fast response... The money order that will be issued will include the money for the sales of your item + the shipping cost and my commission.I would like to restate clearly that this item will be shipped to Africa and I have a shipping agent who would take good care of this.

You are required to cash the money order same day you recieve and deduct the funds for the sales of your item and have the excess funds sent to the shipper via Western Union Money Transfer at one of their outlets around you in order to schedule the pick up of the item.

All necessary transfer papers will be dully signed by the shipper on behalf of my client when the shipping agents comes for the pick up of the item.

I will be willing to entertain more of your questions, and i will want you send me your full name and contact address again for reconfirmtion so that I can have it forwarded to my client for immediate payment issuance.

Thanks for your urnderstanding.

Anthony.

What do you guys think? It really sounds scammish, but maybe I'm being paranoid? LMK,

hah, some mother****er tried this client-shit with me for my car. What I'm wondering is how can it be a scam if you get the money order first?? I mean, that means that you got your cash, right?? So what happens after that wouldn't really matter....
