Craiglist Scams

Long story short, I posted a laptop for sale on Craiglist, here are some of the most entertaining replies I got from obvious scammers:

Hello Seller,

I will like to

buy this item so withdraw the advert from Craigslist. I will

be paying via PayPal.

I am away on a business trip and I'm new on

Craigslist so i don't want to buy what isn't good.You should

get back to me with the total price you want to offer it including

shipping cost to my child in China.All I needed from you now is the

total price, including shipping cost to china with your PayPal

account so that I can transfer the fund immediately.

I am very serious about buying it.I can assure you of getting

your money asap.

What happens? Like obviously you're not planning on sending it.

But if they Pay first and then you send. and have a tracking number, even if they dispute through paypal, wont you win the dispute?

Not being sarcastic, just looking for more info for future reference.

Often The guy would say why are you selling this product for this price when it was selling for a cheaper price elsewhere. You are ripping people off, you a profiteer, etc.

or my Grandson birthday is coming soon and I can't find this product elsewhere, or I don't have much money, can I pay this amount instead.
