It's a scam, I googled his family address and this bus came up in many hits that returned...

The odd price is the first and major sign it's a scam. 6320 here, 6380 somewhere else, prob how they know where hits are coming from! I just hope they get to watch close family members die from painful debilitating diseases. Scamming fuckers!

This is the email I got back. If I'm bored at work today I may mess around some more.
Hi,
My name is Rodney and I'm emailing you about the 1957 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon I have for sale. The bus is in perfect condition inside-out, without any dents or mechanical problems. It was never involved in any accidents and comes with a clear title (no loans or liens on it). The price was reduced to $6,300 as I need to sell it before the 25th of May, when I'll be leaving with my Wing back to Afghanistan. If you have any other questions or need more info, please feel free to ask. I can provide you more details if you are interested in buying it.
Best regards,
Rodney Morris, S Sgt, USAF
Staff Sergeant
P.S.: I listed some bus details below and I will send you all the pics in my next email.

"Best Regards"
I've never seen that phrase used outside of a scam. Not saying it doesn't happen, just that I've not heard/seen/read it.

I asked to see it and recieved a message from the esteemed Mr. Morris :
Hi again,
As I mentioned before I will be leaving on the 25th of May and right now I'm here at Minot AFB in North Dakota, getting ready for Afghanistan. This means I'm doing a special training and I'm not allowed to get out of the base. The transaction will be done through Amazon Payments and they will handle the shipping, the payment and the paper exchange. The Camper is already sealed and ready to be delivered to your place in 3-4 days. You will have free delivery and 7 days to test and inspect the VW before I receive any money.
If you are interested, please reply with your full name, the address where you want to receive the Camper and the best phone # where you can be reached. I will forward your details to Amazon and they will email you with more information on how to purchase it and how to make the payment.
Best regards,
Rodney Morris, SSgt, USAF
Staff Sergeant
