Well, as I know through my job, Nigerian scammers loooooove prowling Craigslist for high priced goods, so the only responses I've gotten are from scammers, responses like:
Hello,
Am interested in the item you advertised because i like the condition
you stated about it and I would like to make an outright purchase
immediately so i would want you withdraw the advert from the web.
Regarding the payment term,I can only for now pay you with a certified
check in U.S dollars so pls let me have the following informations so
that the payment can be made to you :
.Your full name to be on the check.
2.Your postal address.
3.Your postal code
4.Your mobile phone number (For easier comunications).
Kindly get me the above requested information as soon as possible.
Thanks in Advance.
Now, how do you know this is a scammer? First, no reference to the good being sold. Also, honestly, what human being within the United States asks to pay in "U.S. dollars?" Also, because English is something they're not good at there's the ever wonderful "pls let me have the following informations."
Holy crap, while I was writing this I got another email, this one takes the cake

I am going to send them an angry, angry, angry email. I always wanted to cuss out a scammer, but i don't get to at work because I'd end up fired. Dreams do come true!
What sort of price range are you looking for? I know someone who would be really interested. PM me and we'll see if we can work things out. Thanks.
Have a good day
