    Sure sounds fishy. I'd tell him, you can pay when you pick up...and I'm leaving the ad on until it is sold in person..first come first sold. :lol:

    Anytime they say....the item...or....your item....tis a scam. They are involved with so many of these things they have no idea what the item is and really dont care.

    Also - if they're offering to pay more than the asking price - that would be a red flag!! 8)
