I advertised my old King Seeley wood lathe on Craigslist for $75 and got this reply today from "GS"

"You still have it up for sale?"

I replied "Yes, still for sale"

and got this from "Greg M"

"Hi,

Am glad it's available. I'm going on a business trip to London but I will instruct my assistant to prepare and mail your payment which I'm sure you will get in about 5 - 7 business days. I'll add $30 extra for the delay. I can only pay via money order as am going on a business trip now so send me your info (i.e full name, mailing address and your phone number) so payment can be mailed out immediately. I will also make arrangement for pick-up which will be after you must have received and cashed the payment. Awaiting your info.
Thanks"



You have got to be kidding me! A scam for a $75 lathe? Are times that tough that someone would try to scam me out of a $75 lathe?

Groan.......
