Yes it's a scam. They are from Africa, usually.

| I have listed a MG for sale for a friend of mine, and he has had at least two different people agree to purchase it sight unseen. They are both from foreign countries, supposedly collectors of older Guzzis, and seem to have people here that will ship the bike for them. One is offering a bit more than the asking price, the other agreed to have a cashiers check delivered to the owner, that is well above the asking price due to money owed to the buyer by "client" here in the states, if the seller agrees to send the difference back to him. This sounds incredibly fishy to me, but maybe there are collectors who deal like this? Don't want the guy to miss out on a sale, but seems pretty strange to me. Anybody ever seen this? The e-mail messages are in broken English, so I may be losing a bit there, but not much.
