I posted a projector I have on the Tulsa and Oklahoma city Craigslist the other day, and recieved a reply from a guy wanting to but the projector. Here is the emails that we have exchanged so far his response makes me think that he is trying to scam me what do you all suggest I should do.

Original email from him:

Hello,
I want to let you know that i would want to buy this item fromyou. Please email me your firm price if you still have it.
Thanks

Reply from Me:

Yes I still have it, I would like to stay at a firm price of no less than $3750 it is a very nice projector. If you would like the screen also ill throw it in for $150 more.

Let me know if we can work something out.

Jeff
