Default Opinion – am I being scammed?

I put up on craigslist.com an Xbox speaker system. In very close succession, I received these two emails from two different email addresses:

How are you?Hope you are cool?
I'm very much interested in your item,i hope it's in good condition,
kindly get back to me as soon as possible if still available...
REGARDS


Hey do you still have this item for sale
get back to me asap



So I write back thinking these people are local stating I still have the system, and ask where they are located. These are the replies I got:


Hello
Nice to hear back from you, But i want to bring to your attention
that i wont be able to pick the item up, simply because i am not
around.Iam presently in Cyprus on an official trip. I want to buy the item for
my colleague who just left for abroad.I will add $100 for the shipping and payment via PayPal.
So kindly get back to me with your PayPal email address so that i
send the payment to you ASAP...........





Good to read from you... Well i will like you to get back to me with
your Paypal email address so that i can send the payment to you via my
PayPal account and you can help me ship it to the confirmed address
from PayPal, cos i cant really pick the item up from you due to my
busy schedules at work. Furthermore, i will be responsible for the
shipping of the item in which i will add the shipping and handing fee
via USPS Mail signed..
I really Hope this works
Get back to me ASAP
Regards



Seems to be too much urgency, not to mention both messages look like they could have been written by the same person. Also, both came from .aol accounts.

So, am I just being paranoid?
