I have my RV listed for sale. Below is the latest of 3 emails from this person. I am trying to figure out of I should play any more with him. What do you think?

"I have seen all the details and information. We love to have it.

i have discussed with my financier (the person financing this purchase) about this purchase. We concluded he will send you a deposit as a sign of good faith and commitment to purchase. The deposit will include funds for inspection and delivery. After the inspection exercise has been performed whatever remains of the earnest funds after the deduction of all necessary fees needed to carry out the pre-purchase inspection services will be recorded as part of your total asking price, and only your balance will be paid to you at closing of the transaction. In other word, if $2500 was sent as an earnest funds and we spent $1000 on the pre-purchase inspection + delivery fees, the remainder $1500 will be recorded as part of your asking price, meaning the full asking price to be paid to you at closing will be less this amount left with you. Hope this illustration clears up the proceedings.

He is leaving town for a short business trip, he wants to be sure he can send the funds to you before leaving. He told me he will be sending out a certified check payment to you so he would need the Name and Mailing address plus your best working phone# for quick processing.

Let me know if we can get this done as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
Byron Wright"
