Is this a Craig's List scam??? ( Somebody wants to send me $4, 800 for a Kimball. )

[paul bruesch]

It's a scam, pure and simple. Every CL email I get has a warning about such
scams. It's why sellers insist on cash 'n' carry, even for a $4,850 piano.

I once listed an entertainment center on CL. I got this convoluted
suggestion that I ship it (from my home in Minnesota) to Colorado so this
person moving from Tennessee to California could have their movers pick it
up there. Yeah, sure. Like, um, why don't you buy an entertainment center
when you arrive in California.

Like someone else mentioned... if it smells like doggie-doo, smells like
doggie-doo... etc... you get the pic
