I recently posted my old MacBook Pro on Craigslist. It seems that any time you try to sell electronic stuff on Craigslist these days, you get scammers trying to get you to ship it to God knows where. I usually ignore these guys, but I felt like responding this time.
I WANT TO KNOW IF YOUR ITEM IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR SALE?

It is.
Hello
Thank for your reply? Am very interested in buying your item and i will like to buy this item now reason is that i want to buy it for my son and i will be offer you $850 for the item so i will provide you $150 for the shipping cost so provide me your paypal email so that i can make the payment.
Thank
I was only asking $750, so it’s pretty clear that this guy is a scammer.
Your offer of $1000 is very generous, but not enough. I couldn’t possibly accept any less than $1200.
ok…no problem i will pay $1200 for the item and send me your paypal email address so that i can make the payment…ok
I’m very sorry, I meant $1300. I apologize, I must have mistyped. It can be a little hard to ger thinga righy since I spilled that beer on the keyboard.
In addition to the $1300, I will also need two beers.

$1300 and two beers. I’m not sure how you can send me payment in beer over the Internet, as nobody has invented BeerPal yet.
Dylan, I haven’t heard back from you, and it makes me very sad. I’m sure your son would like this MacBook Pro very much, and it’s quite a bargain for $1300 and two beers.
