Thanks guys, I knew it was a scam but deep down I just wanted it to be true. I need to find a photography forum so I can sell this thing already.

I wonder how it can be profitable for someone to respond to CL adds to collect e-mail addresses? How much can an e-mail address be worth.

considering how many people a year actually believe these emails (look it up, amazing how many ppl confuse these for real emails) , follow the instructions and then lose tons of money, lists are actually worth lots of money - ie, have a spare email addy for CL/online sales and related junk. i never use my personal email on CL

I've bough and sold lots of stuff through CL. It just takes time to weed though all the BS. OP just ignore the BS. You'll sell your stuff if you have a good price.
