nahh...it probably isnt a scam. I just give someone $5 more than what he was asking...he also couldnt let USPS pick the item up from his house, so I give him some gas money.
but dam, not a bad deal. I wouldnt ship it until the e-check clears though.

thats a scam.
basically they are going to send you a fake/bad check for 300 over your asking price and then say there was an error and have you send them the 300 back to them, meanwhile the check they wrote you bounces and they take your 300 dollars. you may also send out your stuff before the check clears so then they make 300 dollars and get a free turbo kit.
