I recently posted my Zune on craigslist, hoping to get enough money for an iPod classic since iTunes runs way better on my computer. Anyway, read the emails:

Dr. Evigan
QuoteHello...is it still for sale let me know asap dont forget to send me some pics of it and how much are you willing to sale it


Me
QuoteYes, the Zune is still for sale. I'm hoping to get $200 for it, but I'd be willing to go down to $180. It's in perfect condition. I had one about a year ago that recently broke, so I sent it in and got this one back, so it's virtually brand new. Attached to this email are some pictures. Tell me what you think. <insert pics here>


Dr. Evigan
QuoteI am interested in  purchase  it if you are ready to sell for me, So
please let me know  the present condition including your last asking
price you are willing to sell it, with some other pictures,and am

shipping of this item. This item is to be shipped directly from you to
Grandson address at abroad via USPS ( EMS ) Global Express Mail. My

Either he's scamming you or you're scamming him

Mettalik

Well he wants to pay with PayPal, so have him send payment first before you ship

Sounds like a stolen credit card.

That, and the Zune software is deleting songs from my Zune even though they're still in my music folder.

Are they in your Zune library? goonish

Isn't the point of craigslist to sell locally? Someone on ebay wanted to buy my PSP and have me ship it to Africa, I said no thanks.
