CL is turning into a waste land. I was looking for a house to rent in Philly and responded to a few ads. One of them responded back with an application and said there was a $100 fee, but please mail the application back with a money order (no check) and they would call me to set up a time to show the place. Normally I ignore those scams but when i emailed, back, I got the exact same response... thieves!
With your case, I would just keep playing with him. What they will do is send you a FAKE money order or draft a check using someone elses account number. The bank with cash it thinking its real until they discover its fake or fraud, then you are fucked. Meanwhile, your shit is on a van going to some shipping company.
Im surprised CL hasnt done more to step in, I bet there is a huge number of people that are scammed on a daily basis. If you don't believe me, put a cell phone for sale and see how many emails you get with "what is your final asking price" emails
Personally I hate scammers and love to play with them. What I would do is give the address to a local non-chain restaurant and tell them you have someone else who is going to offer more, but if they come and pick it up first, it is theirs. Then sit and watch the drama unfold. Then email them back and apologize you gave the wrong address, and give them an address to some other place and call the local police and say you think you are being scammed and have the police and the scammer van meet
