Should I buy/sell a bike from a Nigerian Nationalist?

Short Answer: NO!
Long Answer: If you are approached by anyone that says you need to wire transfer money to a international bank account, call the authorities. This is a very common scam that many people have unfortunately fallen for.

I received an email like the following. Is this a scam?

"I have a client that is interested in buying your Bike,he informed me that the payment will be remmited via a satisfied cashiers check. Is the price you listed for the item firm? or what is the actual last price? In order to conclude the deal as soon as possible,the cashiers check that will be sent to you will include the money for the sales of your item and the shippers fees for organising a home pick up service. You do not need to worry as my shipping company will come to pick the item up from your base for shipment. What I want to clarify is that will you be able to send the shipping charges to the shipping agent through Western Union Money Transfer method as soon as you get and cashed the check and you deduct the money for the sales of your item?If you agree to assist in this capacity,send your full name,your a ddress and phone numbers,for the ch eck to be issued and sent to you."

This is a SCAM. Do not conduct a transaction with anyone that asks you to send money to them up front.
