I'd go with the mistake idea.

Those scammers do suck though, the only hits that I had on my Bass guitar were from people that wanted to buy it from many states away...oh and they were willing to pay full price with the nutorious cashiers check. I blew up on the last one and haven't had any hits since. Online scammers suck donkie *****.

I was wondering what the heck that was all about. Just in case, I told him to paypal me $5000 and we can work out shipping details later.

I sent a REPORT ticket to admins. If any of you get this email, I'd recommend NOT replying otherwise you'll probably get more bogus emails (spam) and requests.
