Hi again,
I listed an item on Craigslist and prefered a cash and carry only sale, as it's safer for both me and the buyer. However, I received an email from a man to buy a bag from me to say that he was interested. I replied back to ask him where he would like to meet. Today he emails me saying that he can only pay by money order or check at the moment and will make arrangements to pay it later. These are his exact words:
Great,I will pay your asking price.On the other hand I will make
payment by money order/check as its the only way I can pay you at the
moment.I will make arrangement for pick-up after payment have been
received by you. I dont mind adding a little extra 10 dollars for
inconveniences. Please keep it in my favor.
Kindly reply with your full name,cell phone number,and address where
payment should be sent.Please take the posting off craigslist today
and consider it sold to me.
Expecting to hear from you soon.
Regards

How does all this sound to you? Should I proceed with it? I'm having a feeling that it is too good to be true, but if he does send me a check, then I can wait for it to be fully cashed into my bank before meeting him to give him the bag right? What should I be wary about? Thanks for any input!
