...On this Craigslist offering...I've bought a couple of items from Craigslist but only when the description was personal and not just copy-and-paste...This poster doesn't even list a general location...My thought is it's too good to be true...Ben

Wouldn't trust that much going to something off the interweb. Hands on to make sure everyhthing is in the right working order, to see the number of shots already taken, is the best way to go.
