It's a scam....cash and carry on Craigslist for me. I had a guy in Nevada come across one of my posts.....how? why? Sounded legit, but I'm like for a small item like locking lugs for a set of wheels, why would he ping me from across the country? The whole point behind CL is that you deal locally, hence why no posting in other cities.

 

I would walk away if I were you.
