I got a DM on here out of the blue telling me about a 9' diamond table for sale ( I had an ad posted in the wanted section ). Well I email the guy and this is one of the emails he sends me. Scam or not? $1500 for a diamond and his grammar are obviously suspicious but the photos he sent look like an old red label, I've seen those go for cheap on craigslist. If he's saying "you can come pick it up" how is he planning on scamming me?
Are these AZBers trying to scam me?

Well whoever runs AZB should take his account down.

It's not quite that easy. Anyone can create an account.
I highly recommend you go to the FTC website and file a former complaint against that email address. A simple google search will show you it's been used a LOT in one scam or another.

I received multiple notes about him and his account was banned. I guess this platform doesn't delete private messages for banned members. Let me do some looking to see how to do that.

It looks like banned users do not have their private messages deleted, but they can't reply to them after being banned. Probably why the user sent messages with an email for people to contact. He knew he wouldn't be on the site for long.
Pardon?
What does you want to know?
One thing you can always do to get on the road to certainty is and for a picture of the item with 36¢.
You can do it with other values too, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Hey, thats really smart and simple. You are a guy that is really simple and smart.
It establishes access to the item.
You're grammer is all so suspect.
It would be less obvious to ask for a picture of two balls in the pocket. "Please make it the 3 and the 5 for contrast." It would also be useful.
One pissed off.
how can you get scammed you really have to be stupid.
ask for a few more pics and a cell phone number to call him. then dox the number and see where it comes from. call him and talk. call everyone you buy something from. why wouldnt you. get an address. dox it and see if it matches him and his phone. then go look at it if you like it. how can you get scammed.
