I posted a for sale ad in eBay classifieds (not eBay) this evening for a digital camera and 10 minutes later I get a response from a scammer. Looking at the headers I found the message came from the Ripe network where most overseas scams originate so I deleted the message without responding. You should also delete any from APNIC.

When posting in classifieds whether it be eBay classifieds or Craigslist always check headers for possible overseas scammers and don't reply if it is from overseas otherwise they will then have your real email address. And that means spam..
