Are spammers trolling the classifieds?

I received the following email yesterday (04-07-04) about some piers I advertised (and sold) on Astromart over two months ago:

" hello, my name is jeff swain ,i saw your advert on the internet and i am highly interested in buying your (2 Hercules (model 4550) piers) pls get back to me with the present condict of the (2 Hercules (model 4550) piers) and also the picture to prove it that is a good condition and also the price and pics for it .about shipping arrangement i have a very solid arrangement for the shippment of the (2 Hercules (model 4550) piers) pls mail back as soon as u receive this mail.
thanks and hoping to hear from u
jeff swain"

I guess what makes me suspicious is that the item in questions is always appearing in "()." The grammer is terrible, and if you insert any item into the "()" the message still works. FWIW, the domain it came from was "movemail.com"

Don't know. And I'm perfectly happy to repost if "Jeff Swain" is indeed interested in these piers, but it does seem somewhat suspicious to me.

Jeff Swain can not be found under Astromart User Ratings. Forget him!

That is not a response to an AstroMart ad.
