Another SCAMMER willing to pay FULL ASKING price but will send an agent to pick it up and he will pay with PAYPAL. Again, obvious form letters because I was selling a CARGO TRAILER on Autotrader.ca and he kept referring to it as VEHICLE. Here are his emails, can't copy/paste his text from my phone though:
MY REPLY (already knew he was a scammer)

The last response from him was also in a much smaller font. Needless to say I didn't receive anything further from him once I said "CASH ONLY" ......Oh YES I DID .....here is his next email:
Since these guys now have my actual phone number and email address I am careful NOT to call them out as SCAMMERS because they can get very nasty....they have crews that work 24/7 and constant phone calls isn't in my future.
Thanks for your swift response, am interested in purchasing the
vehicle, but will like to know more about it before i proceed with the
item including the service history, is the any mechanical issue with
the item that you need to let me know. let me know the final price you
wanna let it go for..Thanks

There are no issues, it is in very good condition and ready to use. The price is $9,200
Am very happy that you want to sell to me, My mode of payment would be
in paypal,for the convenience of both parties i have organized with a
shipping company to come pick it up as soon as we're through with
payment .I really wish to be there to check out the item and pay cash
or send cheque but i rely on the information you gave me about the
vehicle? I also checked the pics you posted thoroughly, i really like
it very much, just what i wanted for my Dad abroad... Go ahead and
send me your paypal email address and the account name or invoice to
remit the funds asap, so the transport company can come for the pick
up at your address after you received the payment.
