Default Question... Help.. What should i do?

Now i know the rules an i buy an sell items under my own risk..
But hear this out.

I posted something for sale.
Someone send me a message saying that what im selling is not popular an blah blah an he will buy it for 50 bucks shipped..
Its not about the money to me so i was like sure it yours.
After 4 messages of back an forth he send me his address to send item to.
I then send him my paypal address.
He responds he doesnt do paypal and he send a money order or check or such. An sends his mailing address again.
I respond saying whatever payment is easier for him is okay with me an i attach my mailing address so he can send money.

he then email me last night saying this.

"Thanks again Kris...I am trusted member here on forum...I am going away for this weekend and will snd you money when i get back. You can mail the sills anytime i wish to "his address again"

Regards,
Corvette Friend,
(his name)"

Now i heard lots of stories guys getting screwed here.. Im just curious what would yall do?
again not about the money and im curious.

Thanks

I don't know who the other member is but, generally, the practice is for the buyer to send funds before the item is shipped by the seller.
