Yeah, I met the same guy or someone with the same idea the last time I tried to sell a kite on ikitesurf. Eager to meet my asking price, same crap about a certified check and an agent who will come to pick up the kite. Asked Mr Big Shot about Paypal, however, and of course he doesn't have a Paypal account.

I think the scam ends up being a bogus certified check that takes a few weeks to bounce, so by the time your bank tells you the check is no good, the "agent " has already picked up the kite and you are left to try to track down someone using only a Yahoo address.
