Venturing into online auction Ebay, part III

A weekend went by and still no bids, apart from two emails. The first email was sent by an Ebay member who wanted to know if I had other Cisco equipment for sale. I tried to look up more information about this person, but there was little history available. I replied that I had a Cisco 2514, 2611 router, and a catalyst 1900 switch. The next day I received a reply through a yahoo account with a long long list of Cisco products that the person was interested in. This email sounded very fishy perhaps a scammer, there are too many scammer online, I know because I run an online dating website. Below is what I received.
