1. Just the diction suggests a scam
But, these scams wouldn't exist if someone didn't fall for them.

2. Not so sure it's a scam.
If I'm not mistaken, that seller is from Bamberg, SC. That's my neck of the woods. My guess is that he/she watches too much Antiques Roadshow, and thinks that because it has "Rembrandt" on it, it's worth a ton of money.

3. Something like this was my second thought
"Just slap an arbitrary $1,000 price tag on it because it must be valuable." It is the grammar that made me want to associate it with a Nigerian prince.
