The most common theory about these types of responses is these "your item" replies are email harvesters. They try to get you to reply outside of craigslist's anonymous response sytem then they have a valid email to sell to spammers.
I use craiglist fairly often to both buy and sell, I always put something in the listing about "emails without specifics about the item for sale will not be answered". Real buyers always understand and comply.
^This. It's the easiest way to weed out most scams. They don't take the time to customize the inquiry. If a inquiry does not mention the item at least in passing (i.e I am interested in "your stroller for sale" vs I am interested in "your item") I just trash it, I don't have time or energy to deal with scammers.
