Subject: Wanna sell your edgun ?
Hello oldgoat,
I saw you have the .25 Caliber Edgun & wanted to know if you want to sell it?
Are you in the US & how much do you want for it ?
My reply:
Yes, I will sell it! I will take a USPS money order for $3500. Once the money order clears, I will send it to you.
So, should I be waiting for a check?

Haha, you may get a check for $5000, and it will have a note that says, “take out what you want for shipping, and send the rest back with the gun.”
For those that are not familiar with the scam, if you ever get one of those offers, don’t take it. It will be a fake check, it will clear just fine and you’ll think you have the money, and you’ll send back however much. Well, a few weeks later, the bank will realize the check is no good, and they will take the money away from you. So you just lost however much you sent back.
Back to the original thing. He may have been serious, looking for either a cheaper than new edgun (which doesn’t happen) or just looking for one he doesn’t have to wait for. I guess you’ll just have to wait and see. I’m thinking he may not take you up on the $3500 though… 😆

If it is a USPS money order it will be good unless he is printing them
