hmmm - scam?
Folks, I know a lot of you advertise your gear on guitarmart. i stuck my guild acoustic on there, had an enquiry from someone who asked what the price was. I emailed back, 700 as per the ad, and then received this email (which looks cut n pasted). See below, anyway, suspicious I thought and I thought I'd share it (and before anyone points it out, i don't think it's the gary neville who kicks balls about the place for vast sums of money)

to me
Hello Mate,
Thanks for the mail and am glad to deal with someone honest like you.. I've contacted my client regarding the sale and she's interested in it with the asking price.. But for the payment method,She letting me understand that, for now, she can pay you with a bank Draft, and the bank Draft must credited (maximum of 4 days) into your bank account before releasing the ad for the shipment.. However, I want you to let you know that, i have a local shipping company that would be responsible for the shipment from your location... Anyway, can you let me know if the payment mode is acceptable and more my client is ready to offer you 730GBP
Thanks
Basically in Manchester
That all looks fine, best of luck with the sale
(RUN AWAY NOW!)

Google says scam
The whole schpiel doesn't mention the word guitar- it never states what the item is- key indicator of a cut/paste message
I had the same basic P15H reply about a year ago selling a Les Paul.
Don't even reply to it, its a waste of your time.
