so I have like 5 textbooks I no longer need/want and have attempted to sale them twice on half.com with no luck.

a friend told me to try craigslist so I listed 1 book and got 2 emails (I think they were from the same person?) well anyway, I accepted the offer of the one who said I'll send you money now for the book.

I give my office address bc fuck if I'm going to give my home address and I purposefully left out my phone number and said any further correspondence can be done via e-mail.

Oh, did I mention the buyer also offered an additional $20 bc I would have to wait 4-6 days for payment to arrive (I was selling the book for $50 +$5 for shipping and the guy was basically going to pay me $75 for the book where new on amazon was like $50 something!) whatever.

So then like an hour ago, I get an email that amounts to "omg my assistant did the cashier's check for more than we agreed and it's already been mailed. when you get it, keep the amount we agreed on and western union me back the rest - minus western union fees" when I read that, red flags went off in my head, but the guy won't tell me how much exactly the check was made out for.

so now I'm like UGH! I don't know if I'll use craigslist anymore. But I'm more freaking out bc I don't know how much the check is for and there's all sorts of outrageous amounts floating around in my head.
