He must think you're an idiot! Send him a bogus address and see how he responds.

I noticed the body of the text of your post. Did you copy it exactly?
Usually scammers like to mispel words or make it sound if what they offer is to good to be true. Just look and read the message over real close. I for one would contact E-Bay and have them investigated.

Bottom line, if you do business with e-bay, watch yourself.

<< <i>He will sell me the same # 3 registry set for ony 50k !! >>

Is he scamming on the #3 Washington set listed by Sahara at $145,000?

Somebody else got a similar, if not identical email, recently.

He bid on a coin, and then this doofus emailed him, offering "the same thing for 50% less, with the original warranty and in the original box".

Geez, I didn't think coins came with warranties!?

Hmm... what if I were to take that scammer's email address and sign him up for all kinds of spammy promotions?

It probably wouldn't do any good, as he's probably got a throwaway email address, but it would be kinda funny...
