The person also said they don't check CL mail so to please use the email provided.
Anyway, I responded through the email provided saying the planer was still available. This reply came from a different email than the one I initially responded to:
Thanks for the prompt response to my email. I am so happy that the item is still available, I am very serious in buying from you, I would have come down to your location but I always have a busy hours at work, Please let me know if a Certified Cashiers Check is okay, My pick up will be after you have your money cleared up. The check will be mail out to you today via UPS Service and it will deliver to you within 48hrs, I will make arrangement for the pick up as soon as the check clears. Hope I can trust you with the check payment?

I will make arrangements for pick up as soon as you have your money, I will add an additional $20 for holding it for me. Please consider it sold.
Thank you , hope to read back from you soon
This whole thing seems fishy. If they can go to the bank to get a cashier's check, they can come here with cash. What do you think?
I'd stay away from that one myself.
