Well on the bright side, 4 of the 6 items I listed sold. The piano just went today.  
The cheap air hockey table we put out to the road instead and it went for free.

I added to the descriptions of my items: _No checks or Cashier’s checks accepted. Already had a scam attempted against me._

This seems to help eliminate the scam inquiries.
