Is this a scam?

I posted an ad on gumtree about half an hour ago. Didn't put my phone number as I'm fed up with scammers contacting me through WhatsApp 🙄. Received an email saying
"Good day, forward the price with condition of it to her, my parents wants it"
Followed by an email address. Do you think this is a scam? I'm usually quite good with these things but I just can't decide if I should go ahead and send what they are asking for.

@Pixxie7

She is asking reasonable questions price and condition I can’t see why you think it’s a scam.
All that info is in the ad I posted they want me to send the info to someone else via the email they sent. Apparently its their parents. I was a bit Hmm because I thought, well why can't you give your parents that info yourself.

I emailed back through gumtree and said "No "Tony" I would prefer to use this method of communication if that's OK with you" and haven't had a reply 🤣 guessing it wasn't OK.
