I sent an email to an ad and this is what I got back in reply. I asked for a video/sound clip and he completely bypassed it.
Thank you for your email. I am glad that you want to buy my Pantheon Steel Halo Drum. My asking price is US $1,800.00. From the beginning I want to tell you that I left US a couple of days ago and came to United Kingdom with my job (I am a member of the "Save The Children Foundation). If you still want to buy it, we can do it in a very safe way using an escrow company. They will handle the delivery (because I had to take it with me here) and will give you 10 days of Inspection so you can test and see that it is exactly as described by me in my ad. I will pay all shipping/escrow fees.
