Clever ad; "will not take a check or money order or ship to Nigeria".  Guess he's sold stuff on Craigslist before.  I enjoy the initial deluge of emails in broken English wanting me to accept a cashier's check "for your item".  Like this one I received (grammar as received in email):

"Hello.

Greetings to you. Kindly to please get back to me if your advert at craigslist is still up for sale,I am satisfied with the conditions and price as stated. I will like to make full payment to you through a Certified  check... The pick up of the item will take place as soon as you have the check and have your cash in hand and please just take the add off from craigslist now...as soon as i get the necessary details for the payment making. I would have love to come down and look at the item myself and pick it up but i'm a very busy indivdual with work and other obligations so inorder words i have a mover that handles my shipment,they will be the one to pick up the item from your location once the payment has been confirmed and it would be in an overdraft that will include the shipping fees that would be needed to have the item picked up from your location by a prepaid local mover so ill like you to get back at me."

Cashier's Check and he's paying full price!  Can't go wrong with this offer.
