I live just on the SW side of the county. I know well this area. Without reading all 4 pages of replies, have you had contact and asked about the source of this device ?
Who is the seller ?
Ask for the serial number.
IF no reply, forget it.
I agree with the others, if it sounds too good to be true, it is, there is a catch.


As I have said earlier forget it as the seller doesn't reply to my inquiry.

I would only agree to meet, to at least check out if the guy really has this equipment and it is in good working order, in a very public place. Meeting at the local Police station is an excellent suggestion. If the seller balks at meeting there, then 'run' the other way. Meeting at the Police station does two things, puts pressure on the seller as to if they're legit or not, and, will provide the buyer with a 'quick' and handy way to have the Police run the Serial numbers on the equipment to see if they're hot-or-not...

Do what people have been writing about- be in front of cameras in a police station area. Also do what "riderxlx" wrote about. I stop buying off of E-Bay and Criglisted. Began to having problems. I just now buy from local yard sale and local auction. This way I can fully check out the camera.

I do avoid those to good to be true. I looked at the ad and definitely something wrong at that

As ever: If it sounds too good to be true it probably is. I sense danger, don't even go there!

Yea Really Indeed.
If you are going to blindly and stupidly meet an unknown on a chump baiting deal which cash is involved. You would be ridiculously stupid not to meet outside an open public arena with no option to being hijacked would be the threat. In today's world; as the other Hoggers clearly noted; I give trying to explain.

Well intentioned but nonetheless bad advice. You DON'T want to enter a police station with a concealed weapon!

The parking lot is OK after you call them and found out.

YES, I know is not Canada here and we can carry with or without a permit in a certain state.

Why not exercising our birthright of self-defense and prohibit the goons to take advantage?
