    No much else you can do. You could tell him it will take an extra grand (not 50) to close the bidding. That would make him go away.

    it's a huge scam.. don't even reply... i doubt you'll hear from him anyway once you reply. Just block his emails from here on out if you can.

    good luck with your sale.

    Tell him you are leary of sending the info to just anyone and you need proof he is a real person and not a scam.
    Have him send you a picture of him, naked holding a fish in front of his crotch to prove he is a real person and not just a scammer.

    Then start posting the picture and story everywhere.
