Typical spam. If you reply, you will be asked to ship the item overseas and you will receive a cashiers check for much above your asking price to compensate you for your extra effort.

A receipt for a more than two year old computer doesn't even make sense.
It does if they buyer wants to make sure the item isn't stolen.

"hello do you still have this item available?"
"Hello, do you still have a receipt?"
I'm guessing spam as usual.

If that's the complete text of their message, I'd say spam; no mention of what's being offered whatsoever.
Yep, each is one whole message. A receipt for a more than two year old computer doesn't even make sense.

I keep receipts for at least that long, if for no other reason than it's more work to throw them out then to keep them. And I can still prove that I'm the original owner for my Mac Pro. I seriously doubt that keeping receipts is as rare as you think.

that's right - you're guessing
you need to put something in the listing demanding some sort of ID, like "please put the name of any Disney character in the subject heading else your message will be automatically deleted without me seeing it."
Then you won't have to guess.

Not rare here. I have a folder in a file drawer that I slip all my receipts into. I really need to thin it out, though. I keep e-receipts filed in a folder named 'Receipts' that I don't thin but it is easy to search.

Some discussion here:

Does having transacted through eBay give you 50k insurance as suggested?
