Hi,

      My name is Will - I'm new to this forum so how's it goin. Here's my situation: I rented a storage locker in grand island New York. Shortly after that I moved to Minneapolis MN and that's where I am now. I've been paying on this locker for two years now and it has stuff I need - mainly musical instruments and some stuff I've written and recorded. In general its just a monetary hassle at this point.
      
  I put an ad on craigslist saying that if someone would pay off the storage locker - which was then $331 but I got that paid off so now I'm actually current - then they could keep a bunch of audio gear and tools and assorted other stuff in exchange for sending me the audio equipment.
  
     People responded right away but there were usually craigslist advisories on the responses - saying beware of scammers etc. One dude went and looked at it and said he didn't think it was worth enough money. Another guy was only interested in the instruments. There was another guy who worked at a tool place who showed interest but lost contact. Then finally there is some dude I'm dealing with, I also talked to him on the phone, and he seems willing to do it. He sounds ordinary enough but there's something a bit over eager and salesmanlike about the way he seems to want to go right ahead with it sight unseen. This guy at one point even wanted to send me some money rather than send me one of the instruments.
  
       Does anyone have any advice as to whether I should trust this guy? Is this a common scenario in the storage locker world? He may simply be trying to make money by reselling stuff, not specifically scamming, right?

any thoughts?

Will
