Looking into my crystal ball, I see either a foreign cheque made out for an amount larger than you want for the item and the rest to be forwarded to a friend of the buyer (and then in 6 weeks time the foreign cheque gets bounced by your bank, even thought they've cleared funds, at which point they take their money back) or the words "Western Union" will feature heavily.
Lottery numbers for the weekend will be 3 7 14 23 37 42 bonus ball is 18.

Strange that...his/her internet connection works well enough
Either way, I'll have my 50p on it being a scammer

I agree that its a scam though, the broken English and the phrases used are a dead give away!
What's the furniture? A dusty old chippendale table you found in the garage behind the outboard oil and the leisure battery?
