Normally at that point they hang up or don't email me back.

I fail at typing grammar, but I can speak it excellently. Sorta a bad thing when it comes to orders and stuff like that.

I had a guy email me 3 times, only 1 of which was about an item I was actually selling. He wanted me to ship to Nigeria, because he has a nephew there who is a missionary and is a priest.

About as legit as an offer of $160 I got for my 360 Elite and Halo 3 Legendary.
