I have an iPod touch for sale and got an identical e-mail. Run as fast as you can away from this transaction. Jim here's how my message read from the buyer at Craigslist:

"I really appreciate the quick reply.I am buying this item for a son of mine as Christmas gift and i will be adding $150 for the shipping and handling.I would have made this transaction locally but am not in town presently i would have come down to your house to discuss on it please get back to me asap with your PayPal email address for me to remit the funds and once payment is being received from paypal you can be able to ship this item i am doing this very fast because i have promised my son that the item will be there soonest get back to me immediately as for us to transact very fast.
i will be offering you $270 for the item,do get back tome with your pay pal email so i can remit the fund ASAP Hope to read from you soon.

The poor English is a clue. I'd be curious to read what your potential buyer wrote.
