This isn't just funny, it's hillarious!!!

Recentily listed my Suburban for sale and I got this reply in my Email.
I listed it for $950. Obviously, Suburbans must be very very rare in the UK.

Hello,

How are you doing today? My name is Jim Mick, I am writting from U.K, I am interested in buying your ( '89 Suburban) so i would like you to give me the price you are willing to sell and i hope it's still in condition, email the information regarding it's condition, pls do remember to email me with the picture.

The form of payment would be (Cashier's Check in U.S Fund).

I don't want you to be worried about the shipment, I will take good care of it.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,
Jim Mick.


:idea: Maybe I should just contact Barrett Jackson and have them do the deal for me.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see what makes you think it's a scam?

This was my reply to him:

Dear Mr Mick,
Due to the rarity of this classic automobile, I am compelled to require 2.4 million British Pounds as compensation for this fine, rare, classic piece of American industrial ingenuity. The craftsmanship is unrivaled in the autoworld. Surely, this would be a prized addition to your collection. Photo to follow for your viewing pleasure.

For an additional 100K pounds, I will provide a private security force to accompany your acquisition on it journey to the UK. Security is a worthy consideration.

Sincerely,
Dan D
