Two things: an unexpected telemarketing call and an offer for way above market value. If these two things happened then it is a scam.
What usually happens is cases like this is that the scam artist will tell you that there is an offer in place and the sale is ready to go through. Then he will tell you that you need to pay some sort of fee or tax to close the deal.
There is no buyer and, even if there were, any fee or tax that has to be paid would come out of the sale price paid by the buyer and not the seller.
