I've received a couple of nibbles from my Craig's list add. This one seems a little strange to me, maybe I'm just paranoid?

What do you guys think?

Received 11/25

Hi,
I'm Laura W***** I just viewed your ad posted. I will be glad to meet you today to take a look at it between 3:30-7:00pm. I work nights at my shift starts at 8pm. I'm off duty on thursday and I can come around then check it out on thursday anytime after 1pm.. I have to pick somebody up from the airport at 9:45am. Could you possibly show it to me then?? Let me know what time i can come to take a look it, i want to be sure if it's still in great condition before i purchase it and i'm ready to pay in cash...You can email me here @  l**********@gmail.com. Let me know. Thanks!

W****** L.

I replied to her via Craig's list relay mail and told her that I wouldn't be available till 11/30, no reply. What's odd about her message is that not once did she mention the trailer or anything to do with motorcycles or to ask if the price was negotiable. Maybe it's just me?

i have sold many things on CL and I always get some sort of reply that sounds very genetic.  I suspect that you will be getting a bunch of junk emails in the near future.

Laura doesn't have my e-mail address as I replied to her via CL relay mail.

Tell her to meet you at the police station parking lot and to bring well used 20 dollar bills.

Yep. But then I'm a firm believer in the nastiness of humankind.

I wonder if this thread set a new record for the most reads of any for sale thread?
