Just too many red flags, for sure this guy is not for real.

On another note, for people who are a little weary of meeting people on Craigslist... If you don't meet them at their home, ask them to meet you at a bank. Cameras everywhere! Or the police department. We buy a lot of furniture on CL. You usually have to go to their house. You can't just meet up somewhere. If someone is coming to your house, give them directions, but don't give your address. That way they physically have to come down there. Instead of giving your address to a stranger and have them not show up (or never intended to) and come break into your house and steal whatever you were trying to sell.

I like this better, see, everyone learns something even if it is not related to the original question asked.
