name withheld in case the guy actually is serious, but here's the PM:

Hey,

I'm very interested in purchasing. If you can provide me with a few pictures with my name (insert name here) on a piece of paper, consider it sold. Thank you, and I hope to do the deal!

Now why would someone want their name on a piece of paper, beside an amp that didn't belong to them, if they weren't planning on scamming someone? Just seemed strange to me, so I sent a picture to him that said "stratusrt01's amp, but (insert name here) wants it!!" He also has a 0 postcount. Just didn't seem right to me, so people be careful.

 
that was my feeling also, I'm waiting to see if I get an IM back from him, since he was just checking PMs, but if I don't within a relatively normal period of time, I'll post the name here to warn everyone.

 
maybe he's asking so that he knows it's you who is taking the pics of the item...why don't you both agree on a common word to use like TOOTHBRUSH or something...i've done that before...

yup, very fishy!

 
Well, i would think a pic with my name on it would suffice.........
well at one time on a studio forum i post on someone had gotten a hold of some pics with a sign of someone elses name from another forum and this person used the name from the pics to create a user name on forum i post on and ended up selling the item to someone...

there are always ways to get around things if you are going to scam someone...

i mean you probably did the right thing...you can never be too careful...
