Scammer alert!
Just go get the stuff from him, his presence is all over the web...? Question before you waste your time: What charges are you going to bring against him...interstate wire fraud? If your really serious about a craigslist add that seems hinky, ask him to put it on ebay at the sell it now price and have him send you the link, then you can buy, pay by paypal and POSSIBLY have a chance with Ebay or Paypal on getting your item or your money back...better than nothing. I thought there was a sales app on Android that you post something, someone buys it through the app and the money gets sent to a broker, then when the item is received (some sort of tracking or him clicking the received button.....(?) , the money gets deposited into your account? Well, there should be!
