What's this?

Ok, scam or no scam? (inside)


I'm in nova trying to sell an expensive watch ($400) on craigslist. Emailed a few times and his emails seemed legit with this guy and then he sends me this:

"Hello,
Thank you so much! May I know your address, please? I live in western part of Lynchburg, which means I need to drive for 4 hours to get to your location. Considering the time and gas fees, can you give me a better offer, please? I'd like pay by cash.
Thanks again!"

Too fishy?
Tell him to pound sand?

  $400 is expensive for a watch? -- darnellm 06/11/2018 09:35AM
  It's expensive for a Timex? ** -- EDGEMAN 06/11/2018 09:37AM
  HA HA ** -- darnellm 06/11/2018 09:38AM
  Just tell him "that's the price, TIOLI" ** -- Freddyburg Hokie 06/11/2018 09:32AM
  He's a player, trying to bid you down. not sure if scam is the right word. -- `lag 06/11/2018 09:27AM
  Just remember...In Philadelphia its worth 50 bucks ** -- Tuckahokie 06/11/2018 09:21AM
  Fifty bucks? No, no, no. This is a Rouchefoucauld. The thinnest -- Brown Water 06/11/2018 09:38AM

  Scam. Language is slightly off and it doesn’t take 4 hours from Lynchburg ** -- Nova Hokie 95 06/11/2018 09:16AM
  I just don't understand the 'game' - what is the benefit to him? -- FfxStationHokie 06/11/2018 09:17AM
  He's going to whack you over the head and steal the watch, your wallet... -- EDGEMAN 06/11/2018 09:36AM

  Specifying the "western part" of Lynchburg to someone 4 hours away is odd ** -- HokieDan95 06/11/2018 09:15AM
  Interesting... Obviously i'd give a public address/location, not your add ** -- kingofcassell 06/11/2018 09:15AM
  Yep, but not sure if I want to play this game anymore :/ ** -- FfxStationHokie 06/11/2018 09:16AM
  That isn't your problem. But how bad do you want to sell it? ** -- 48zip 06/11/2018 09:15AM
  Pound sand ... ** -- VaTechie 06/11/2018 09:12AM
