Also you should be aware that you won't be responsible for shipping as i will have my mover come over and pick it up as soon as you received the check and. I also have some other goods i already bought in other location which my mover will pick up all together. i will get back to you once my secretary made the payment out to you.
Thanks.

I have never had some one ask me to do overnight check like this. I haven't talked to the person or anything. As far as i'm concerned this is a scam. I also saw someone else on this website asking about the same person so that threw a red flag for me.

No doubt that, when you receive the check he'll want you to cash it and send the balance to xxx.
Shortly after, you'll be told by your bank that the check is fake/counterfeit and you'll be liable for the money. It's good that you saw through it before anything nasty could happen to you. You should tell him 'Sorry, but you've had a better offer' and ignore him from then on. Even if he does offer an even higher price.
