Super auto generated scam.
That's why they always say "(OEM Eclipse wheels)" and are using a money order.
The MO won't clear, you lose.
 
thats what i was thinking.. just wanted to make sure, before i blew off a potential buyer..
 
It's a 419 scam, it's just on a smaller item for a smaller amount so there's a higher chance for the scammers to sound believable. As you said, why bother with scamming for a couple grand? Well, money is money regardless.
 
rule of thumb.. anytime they offer more than what you ask it's a scam
