I replied to the email with a couple of questions. I got a response not answering any questions but just asking for my name and address. And the grammar and spelling reminds me of all those Nigerian scams (see below) - the English on the original listing was perfect. Also, he is now offering to deliver a 17 foot boat 500 miles for free!
"Hello trirod,
Everything will be done through eBay.The eBay will be totally responsable if anything should happen with this transaction!
You have the opportunity to purchase this item at your bid price.
If you're ready for this purchase, I need to know your full name and address.
As soon as I have this informations I'll start the official procedure, and eBay will notify you about this. You'll also receive important guidelines + instructions from them (please go through them exactly).
I'll handle the shipping, so this will be free of charge for you.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards!"
Anyway, for the moment I have forwarded the information to ebay and not replied to the "seller"
