Heads up! - Complete scammer- will not meet in person and I found listings in Idaho, New York and Canada. Selling a $6k trombone for about $1000. His english is not quite right on emails. Uses two different pictures but the same text.
It is a dangerous world out there!

Re: Courtois 421 on Craigslist
Yes, definitely a scammer. I saw his ad on NYC Craigslist and contacted him, offering to meet since I am an hour's train ride from the city. He then told me he was in MA, and would ship after receiving payment. He did send additional pictures upon request. I was getting suspicious after he kept bugging me for payment, so I told him my son lives near Boston and could pick it up. When he said he was too busy, I knew. But just to be sure, I asked for a few more pics, one being the inner slide up against the outer, so I could check for alignment 
plus a video of the slide in motion, just to call his bluff.
Of course I did not hear from him again.
I posted part of the story about a week ago under "Tangents - Is this a scam?"
