Scam. But I wouldn't run... I'd tank the guys chain a bit and drag it out
for days thinking he might have a taker. Give odd info on the van like it
used to be used as a backup hearse in case the actual hearse was in the
shop etc...
Maybe it's just my weird sense of humor but I'd actually enjoy wasting his
time (and mine) with some weird off the wall email exchanges.
Abel.
