somebody that wants to buy it from me. They email me with different emails saying the exact same thing and some different but they all say their over seas and their going to pay me in cashier check and they will have some one pick it up but all they need is my full name address and phone number... is this like sometype of new spam or a scam ... they must of got my info from recycler.com where i have my motorcycle posted for sale. Should I belive them or what has anybody ever sold to these people?

It's a scam.
Craig's list, one of the largest free posting web sites lists the scam here and explains how the scam works. Do NOT fall for it.

It's a common scam, It's on Craigslist.org all of the time. When they would pay for postage, I would send them a box with **** in it, or give them a fake address so they can mail out their fake cashiers check
dont do it, they sometimes even offer more than you ask or they say they want the item for thier sons birthday

Im pretty sure that sounds bogus... but if anything.... give them your real first name, fake last name, put it in storage so they have to pick it up there. , tell them to send 1/2 the payment now once you cash that, call them and tell them to come get it, and have the other 1/2 of payment. You could always ask law enforcement to come and sit with you when they are supposidly coming to get it. But still the fact of what they say all sounds a lil crazy.

It's a well-known scam.... except, ironically, to most sellers.
