Hey man, if he doesn't ask, how does he know if he can trust on you? Why don't you just let him have attach of the picture of the Item you want to sell for him?

I mean, jeez...

EDIT: The more I read this, the more I like the syntax here. It's like the foreign language shotgun approach. One of those article or conjunctions is bound to be right, so use 'em all and let the reader decide.

SCAMSCAMSCAMSCAMSCAMSCAMSCAM. Any mention of checks or certified checks is a scam. Next he will tell you some story about a person that he owes money to, so would you please send him the extra that he will send to you. Play him for laughs (PLEASE!!) and let us all know what happens. Do not let that vehicle out of your hands until real payment has cleared your bank. Do not even consider sending the "extra" to anybody beyond arms length. I repeat SCAMSCAMSCAMSCAM. Did I make that clear enough??
