I got a set of strange looking questions from a buyer for my coreless servos.


it reads:

hello, I just place a look on your item and i am intrested in immediate purchase of this item, but before i proceed on this transaction i will like to ask some question as follow. 1. Do you accept a ( Money Order/cashier check ) as a mode of payment? 2. What is the final asking prize you can go at last? 3 Will you let our shipping company to come to you house for the pick up of the item cos we don't want you to worry yourself about the shipping of the item. 4 You are to send your NAME, ADDRESS, TEL # to mail out the payment today. 5. Will you be able to send the excess fund back to the shipping company via western union money transfer same day you recieve and cash the check for the arrangement of the home pick up from your house down to my client."

Since I know the exact price, why should there be any excess funds?  Would you wire-back excess funds the same day you got the cashier check?  Or would you wait until it cleared?
