Too good to be true?

Sent an email and got this reply.....

Hi there,
The buy it now price is 3100 pounds, newborn necessities forces low price sale (description reflects the reality, no hidden faults). I work as an engineer in military service therefore would like to apologies for late replies, military base regulations don't allow outside calls for a faster communication. To keep it simple and clear in the eventuality you would like to close the deal we will be using www.escrow.com which is recommended by eBay and it suits my needs since it allows me to get 48 hours off to arrange collection. Please reply with any concerns.
Regards,

Could not be bothered to go through his myspace but that seemed odd for the two minutes I looked at ir

Most definitely a scam, especially as he's asking for ESCROW.

Tell him you'll turn up with cash and see what he says!

haha i did offer to turn up with cash, no answer.....wonder why haha.
crikey these scammers need to learn to get their prices right,they might have a better chance that way ;o).
some poor git has even had his myspace stolen for some bullshit cred

I am deployed at the moment. I would like to use www.escrow.com since it allows you an inspection prior to the sale. Waiting your decision if you want me to register our transaction with www.escrow.com and eBay(I'll be paying the fees).
David.
