DONT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Scammers now use new "tricks". Two ways they do these scams is eaither with money wires or certified checks. NEVER EVER trust anyone that wants to wire you money. Just search on the internet for it, tons of results for this scam. Stay away. The certified check scam is even more tempting. They will state they will send you x amount of money over your asking price and ask you to resend them money. BEWARE!

One of my employee's came to work all proud of his online new mini purchase and could'nt wait to get to Western Union to wire the money. He was surprised that the FBI could not help him get his money back from people in England.
