Just a reminder that might save one trusting soul from a scam. Received a response Regarding an iPod I am selling on the classifieds section. Here is the response I got from them (I've seen this exact scam several times over the past couple of years for both buying & selling).
 
"can you ship the item to my base here in 14185 West Falcon StreetLuke Air Force Base, Arizona 85309. that's my base and that's all about who i am for any trusting issue you can check my feedback on ebay which is ...Gizmogadgets970... as for the shipping let us hope
usps post office will handle it all please how can i trust you also, i also believe MoneyGram should be fine as for the payment method, since ebay can no longer Guarantee Paypal services anymore on ebay, just let me know if you are okay with this and reply back with all the
Necessary information to make the payment your full name address city state zipcode and your personal email address as well what if i give you 220 including the shipping cost to me here please get back to me today."
 
They will next send you a phony notification from money gram that your money is waiting for you and that it is safe to send your item. Or they will then ask for your bank info in order to do "direct deposit" (actually directly empty your bank account). So just a reminder to always deal locally. 4951
