I wouldn't want to waste time pursue this one. I did one similar before so I know how it went.

Have a professional sports trainer tape your ankles so you don't sprain anything when your jumping.

This ad has appeared in numerous Craigslist listings around the northeast, with different addresses listed as locations. Not even a good scammer.

Craigs list and and a very low price.
I have told this story before. I wanted a D800 to do stills and video work when it first came out.
I had FF lens and Nikon gear. So Is bought one. Decided use Sony camcorders for video.
Put D800 on ebay first experience. I had paid well over 3k to get it early on. I had an offer full price.
The party said needed it soon as a gift in Arizona. Got an email from ebay saying payment was made ship.
Sent camera UPS to address. Camera gone the email from ebay was a phony. Local police investigated
came up with nothing. Hmmmm. I considered the camera stolen and my insurance company State Farm
would not consider it a crime. Which Arizona police registered it.
Since then I have sold many things on ebay no problem
Stick with legitimate deals for known sellers.

Yours is a different scam which the buyer scams the seller. In this case the seller is the one who does the scam.

I love following thru on these "offers", getting the perp to engage and think he's got a live on on the hook, only to find he's wasted his energy, when I call him out on it. I wait until he tips his hand by asking for $ without an in-person delivery of goods ... I had a travel trailer scam that was lifted from a legitimate add and notified the actual owner/seller that his add had been lifted and put on ebay by a scam artist. Googling the offer verbiage will often direct you to the legitmate seller. Hard to catch the bastards ...

I posted a link to the same one in Tampa two weeks ago, Craigslist took the ad down.
A few years ago, I was selling my Honda Goldwing on EBay, the buyer claimed to be buying for a diplomat who was overseas, but he had a cashiers cheque for $15,000.00, $4000.00 over my advertised price. He wanted me to hand over the $4000.00 and the bike. I strung him along and lo and behold he sent me a Bank of America cheque, the bank being somewhere in Texas, I forget the town, a week later he sent me an email saying he had forgotten to send the cheque and another one is on it's way, lo and behold another one arrived Fedex, sent from Gatwick UK, this time the bank I believe was somewhere in Louisiana, we contacted Bank of America locally and they said as far as they could tell the cheques were genuine and they would credit my account, but if they proved to be fraudulent they would take their money back, we contacted the FBI and were told it is a common scam generated by Nigerians in Houston.
Anyone want to sell me a D850 with 200-300 2.8 Lens for $30,000.00?

It's the old story, if it's too good to be true, forget it.
Not necessarily so. If it is not a hot item, it could be that the seller inherited it and does not know its true value or it could be an estate sale, for example. Ask questions and check the serial number with Nikon. On more than one occasion, I have purchased a true bargain (not cameras) because the seller had no idea of the value of what they were selling was. In one case, I bought an valuable vintage radio transmitter for a song because the seller did not take the time to find out what they had inherited and what it was worth. There can be all kinds of reasons why legitimate sellers underprice the things they sell. So don't automatically pass on a low price, but do check it out.

And then there is the story of the man who bought a brand new, fully equipped Cadillac for $50. The ad was in a local newspaper and so the man figured it couldn't hurt to take a look. BOTTOM LINE: The Cadillac was real and was in the will of a business executive. The will stated that the car was to be sold and the money given to his secretary, so the widow sold it for $50.

I shoot with D800e and D850. Nikon USA will not confirm a camera or lens is USA or gray market until you send it to them for service. If it is not USA s/n, Nikon USA will not repair it or supply parts to an outside camera repair. Even a pawn shop should give more $$$ for a D850 body than this selling price. If the price is real and the camera is real, and it works, it still smells fishy.

There was another similar story that made the national news about twenty years or so ago. A women got her husbands very high end luxury car in a divorce settlement and sold it for $1 to stick it to him.
