Ebay Scammer

I was Ebay and I see this guy sellling a $9000 motorcylce for $3200 and decided to toy with him a bit.

My original email to his email address listed in the listing. He asked not to contact him by his ebay account because his ebay mail box is full:
I am not too far from Rancho Cordova. I just moved just east of Sacramento. I can come tomorrow and pick up the bike and pay cash if you really only want $3200


His response from a different email:
Hello again,

Please answer me to this email address because I have some problems with the other email account (richardwatson112@yahoo.com). This is my wife account. I have an other ideea. If you are a real buyer I will set up another auction with a buy it now option. To complete our transaction we will use Ebay Vehicle Purchase Program, and after you ll use the buy it now option you will be contacted by ebay. After you will make the payment, you will send the payment confirmation to ebay and they will tell me to shipp the bike because you have made the payment. After youll receive the bike and inspect it you will confirm to ebay and they will contact me and I ll be able to receive the payment. in this way we are both protected up to $20000us. So should I relist it? And one more thing what bike you want to buy because I sell two bikes and I dont want to make any mistake.


My response:
Why would I have the bike shipped I am less than 10 miles from you. It would be very easy for me to pick it up and avoid shipping charges. If you would rather me pay through ebay that would be fine, but you could avoid the ebay fees if I just payed in person.

Here is his response, now he is saying he is divorced but earlier he was using his wife's email address:
Right now I am in Rome Italy at my parents, I divorced and I moved at my parents. If you want we can close the deal in the way I said in my first email. So let me know if are you interested I don't want to waste your's or my time.

My latest reply trying hook him and keep going:
Ok...so the bike is in Italy now? How much is it going to be to ship the bike from Italy? I am really interested in the bike and have the cash.
