Hello,
I am not the first owner. When i bought my car the spoiler was on it. I returned the car to stock and am now selling the parts that were on it. I would say it is in very good condition. I don't know how long is was on the car, but there is no scratches aside from the scrap on the passenger side. The scrap (white in picture) is about the size of a quarter
( http://longisland.craigslist.org/pts/281389648.html ). I honestly didn't notice it until I took the spoiler off the car. The spoiler fits extremely nicely and streamline. My friends even thought it was stock. I'll give it to you for $100 American plus shipping. It is rather large so shipping might be expensive. Let me know your exact address to find out the shipping cost. Also let me know how you would like it shipped... UPS, FED EX, etc
Thanks for your interest,
Adam

Hello Adam,
Thanks for the reply and the information you sent . Well Please I want you to delete the Advert from the Website. Concerning payment I have just called my Client now and he has said he will Issue out a Certified USPS Money Order of $2,750 to your contact address in which you will remove the asking price $200 after cashing it at your Bank, Since it will be a Money order and an extra $100 for your running around and then send the balance to the shipper Via western union money transfer so that he will use for all his flight charges and forthe insurance of the shipment when being shipped and also I would want you to do this for me because the shipper also has some other shipments to handle for me in the state. I hope I can trust you on this? The information of the shipper will probably be sent alongside with the Money order or when he is been assigns by his company for my shipments. will notify you if he has sent it. Looking forward to completing this transaction with you. Get back to me as soon as possible so that we can proceed with the transaction..
Note: All western union and bank fee for cashing must be
deducted from the Shipping funds..
Here is my Full Contact info:

I'm sorry but I can not help you with your shipping costs. My parents wont let me accept the $2,750. I would much rather you ask a different supplier help you out. If its easier, I will accept cash at the time of pickup. I'm sorry if this is an inconvenience. Again, I will accept $100 for the spoiler.
Adam
Again, I appreciate any feedback, sorry for the length

I'm pretty sure this is a scam, I was selling some stuff on Ebay and had the same sort of offer. It really sounds shady and how would he know if you just wouldn't take the money and run. I would say don't worry about it just ignore the emails and sell it locally like you were looking to.

This is clearly a scam, no question about it even if you've never heard of this "cash my check/money order for me" type deal. Look at the grammar. Look at how he refers to the object of interest (bracketed? WTF?). And who in their right mind is willing to pay more than the minimum. At the very least, his generic questions were rather vague for a fairly particular piece. Anyone who was truly interested in the condition of your spoiler would ask about paint, cracks, why it was taken off the donor car, etc.
Glad that you finally raised the red flag on this one though.
