One of the #1 rules on craigslist is you don't do deals that involve checks, bank wiring, weird money transfer methods, etc. CASH (in person) AND PAYPAL ONLY. I know you want the seats, but trust me, you don't want them bad enough to deal with a a scammer. Even if this guy is not a scammer, he has already shown that he is weird, paranoid and probably a nightmare to deal with.
At first he asked me to come and pick up the seats in person. May be he knew that I am not going to fly there to pick them up. Though in his post he asked for a local pick up and it was his idea to ask a forum member to come and look at them first. So I really dont know if he was trying to scam me. Either way I am not sending someone I dont know money with out using paypal. They have things in place to protect you and protect the seller. So I did some more looking and found a guy that is selling the same seats for a little more but he accepts and has been easy to work with. In the end I have no idea if he was scamming me but I am not going to find out.
