Help me come up with a creative response to this inquiry on a Craigslist ad I posted.
Crazy scammers. I am probably just going to take it to the Sheriff's Office to see if there are similar scam attempts locally.

Hello,
Thanks for the prompt response to my inquiry. I hope it is in a perfect condition as
I'm highly interested in it and I am really okay with the pics i saw at craigslist i will have
love to come and take a look my self but i am a very busy man i hope you understand ?
due to the distance i will like to make an instant purchase but if there is
anything wrong, you can kindly let me know and we can fix things up. I don't mind
paying additional $50 for it in order for you to take the ad from craigslist and
also to be assured that it is already mine.
I will be paying you with a certified check and it is going to be sent to you via courier service
which is going to be mail to you overnight.
For the payment, I'm going to need your details (Full name, address and phone number)
in order to facilitate the payment asap.
My mover will be coming for the pick up as soon as you have the check cashed so you
don't need to bother about the shipping as everything on that is well arranged.
Thanks and I'm waiting to hear from you

3. Frankly, here's how I would reply . . .
I am ecstatic that you are willing to buy my article, and in $50.00 a lot beyond the asking price. How marvelous! Additionally, it is so class of you so send payment through service of messenger, like you should know that the incomes extra will enter nearby. To identify its messenger, please supplies me with messenger service name and the majority of the important one a photography? It is the night on Saturday and I have just needed a date.

Expecting to negotiate with you.

4. LOL! Brilliant.
Sometimes it is hard just figuring out the gist of what they are trying to say. Usually, context helps, but many times I am just left saying :wtf: .
