A couple of days ago, I took some pictures of an item and posted it on Craigslist. The item in question, a Nakamichi System-One stereo rack, is apparently tough to find without being sold along with all of the components. I'd hoped to get at least a bite from someone around here, but instead I received a phone call from a gentleman near Portland, Oregon inquiring about purchasing this item. At first I tried to discourage him because my gut feeling told me it might be a scam, but we proceeded to chat about other non-audio related things for nearly a half an hour before we finally concluded our talk. He claims to have moved here from Germany in the early Seventies and that he's actually in his seventies now. Apparently he has the components but no rack to put them in, and mine was the only one he encountered.
I just got done looking at some of the default prices to ship this particular item via UPS and USPS, and I'm not particularly impressed with the pricing. I have yet to get back ahold of him with this information, so I thought I would make this inquiry: based on the information I've been given (and have thus posted here), should I give this man the benefit of the doubt and proceed with the transaction?
