Just ignore the Email you got. If you have not yet listed it for sale with a price in a public forum, it's likely that someone approaching you privately is trying to eliminate any competition an open marketplace would create.

Anyone anywhere on the Internet could have read the email address you posted in this public forum. They are not necessarily a member, and there is no way we could help you identify them even if we wanted to disclose personal information - which we do not do.

If you want to sell it, we have a "For Sale" section on this forum. Read the rules. Ensure that you set an offer price. We are not an auction site. Take good sharp detailed photos in natural shaded sunlight with a camera that can focus, and then deal with those that are interested in buying it. Don't engage in discussion in a for sale posting.

Both the buyer and seller beware. We're not responsible for any problems you may have with a buyer.

You accept all risks regarding listing it on the forum. We simply allow you to communicate with an online community. We don't checkout the member backgrounds, or their intentions. There are other commercial sites where you can sell or auction what you have.
