This is a common scam.... I got several from the UK and Ireland when I
was selling my Mini (like they're going to pay to reimport a car that
abounds over there!).. Same thing happened with a trailer last month..
I specifically said in the ad "NO SHIPPING" and some guy used the "buy
it now" and was going to send me excess money to cover the shipping
(which I was supposed to transfer)..
Ignore it and move on... a legitimate bbuyer will appear..
