Telescope Scammer

I've been trying to sell my telescope on UK Astro Buy & Sell. Recently had
2 enquiries, one guy wasn't willing to meet my asking price which I
dropped a bit more for him but wasn't going to cut my throat either.
Anyway the second guy is very interested but I'm a little suspicious. I've
copied his last email that he sent to myself and it's posted below, anyone
else think it's a scam?

TIA

I had something similar to this when I was selling a scope a few months ago
on Astromart. An obvious scam. Ignore it.

I cannot understand why people want to "earn" a living by cheating
others week after week.
