Sniff Sniff... smells like a scam!!!!!!!
 
well i was trying to sell my D15Z1 on the recycler.. and i get this dude that emails me this reply.

1st email:
HELLO,
CALVARY GREETINGS TO YOU. I CAME ACROSS THIS ADVERT OF
YOURS WITH THE ABOVE SUBJECT AS THE TOPIC IN THE R'
COMMUNITY CLASSIFIED PAGES { RECYCLER.COM} AND I WILL
LIKE TO PURCHASE IT. I WILL WANT TO ASK FOR PICS AND
THE TRUE CONDITION OF IT. I WILL ALSO REQUEST THAT YOU
REDUCE YOUR PRICE AND GET BACK TO ME WITH YOUR LEAST
PRICE. I WILL BE EXPECTING YOUR MAIL AND WILL LIKE US
TO CONCLUDE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I WILL NOT BE HAPPY
BIDDING ALONG WITH MANY OTHER PEOPLE SO LET ME KNOW
WHERE I STAND. IF IT IS STILL AVAILABLE AND YOU WILL
LIKE US TO TRANSACT THEN GET BACK TO ME.

i emailed him back and told him the price was firm and he emails me back with this....

2nd email:

INSTRUCT A CLIENT OF MINE IN THE STATES WHO OWES ME AN
AMOUNT OF $3,500 TO ISSUE YOU A CASHIER'S CHECK ON MY
BEHALF.THEN YOU CASH THE CHECK & DEDUCT YOURS [$200] &

AS YOU WILL LIKE IT THE CHECK IS TO BE SENT TO VIA
FEDEX . I WILL ALSO ADVISE THAT YOU PULL THE AD OUT
IMMEDIATELY.
