new scam, sort of

Here is my response and the original email. Check out the prices.
Ok, I know you guys must be new at scamming Americans, so I am going to give you a couple hints. Your prices are way too high. I can buy anything you have listed for less then half what you have posted it for. See the trick is offer some dumb ass something for cheap and then when he sends you half payment, you keep it. Your prices are just way too high. You have to remember Americans may be greedy, but we are not stupid. One other thing most the people posting ads on kingsnake, know that "boas river type" are not even from Africa, nor are rattlesnakes.Plus I can buy "boas river type" for about $100. You really need some work on your routine. With a little practice you too could be a worldwide known piece of crap(that is American for good Nigerian seller).
