time for me to vent (quite possibly stretch the boundaries of good taste). after i got home last night, i listed the coffee table on craigslist, figuring that it would be a while before getting any replies. imagine my surprise, when i checked my email and there were 6 enquiring about the table i then sent back email to them and 5 responded with offers. i went with the best one, and called my brother to let him know the table had sold, and the circumstances. he said it was a scam email, and that i should relist the table (which i did). i also sent this person another email, letting them know that they really should inspect the table prior to purchase, and if they couldn't, and since the other letters were so close to the one they sent, i would consider the sale off, and any check they sent would be returned unopened. before i reposted the listing, i added that the potential buyer should inspect the table prior to the sale, and because of running into this scam, checks of any kind would not be accepted, and payment would be cash only. thanks to this, i'm just a little less than trusting of craigslist. grrr....
