I knew it was a scam, but I replied just to see what the pitch was. The response I got made me sick.

Hello,
http://www.use.com/ab458b7d1846f7249bac?p=1
My name is Carolina Wilson, I am emailing you regarding the 1955 Martin D-28 Acoustic Guitar that I have for sale.
The guitar is in perfect condition , with no need for additional repairs.
I'm selling my son's guitar, who died in Afghanistan two months ago and I want to get rid of them asap because the sight of it makes me think of him often and often and the pain is very hard . Put yourself in my shoes and you'll do the same (selling the guitar , of your dead son, no offense) !!!
As you probably noticed , the final price that i want for this guitar, is $1600 if you will buy it today or tomorrow.
Let me know where are you located and any other details you need about it.
Thank you,
Caroline

Hello again,
I`m located in Great Falls, MT (the guitar is here with me) right now because me and my husband got a new job here, the thing is i`m very busy and I don`t have time to stay and meet with all my potential buyers.
For this transaction I want to use eBay because I want to provide you a fast and very secure way. They will handle the transaction for me. You will make the payment to eBay and they will hold the money until you receive and inspect the guitar. Only after you receive the guitar and you inspect it (you have 7 days for inspection) they will release the payment to me. This transaction is covered by eBay buyer protection up to 50,000 USD and if something goes wrong in this transaction you will be fully refunded. I strongly assure you it will not be the case for a refund. I have used the eBay buyer protection program in the past and all my transaction ended successfully.
I apologize if it seems like I'm pushing on this deal but I really want to be sure that everything is clarified before any further steps. I'm a serious seller and I prefer to deal with a serious buyer. I want a fast and safe transaction for both of us, so if you wish to proceed with the purchase, please provide me your full name, full address and phone # so I can initiate the deal through eBay.
I am looking forward to hearing from you,
Thanks and have a great day !
