I texted back and forth with the guy several times yesterday. He said he had a buyer on the way after work, but he seemed legit. He does have a NYC area code so that is very odd, but I've met lots of people on planes that live in one state and work in another state halfway across the country. I'm tempted to ask again if I can check it out just to see if it's legit.
BTW, if the "on hold" buyer was a flipper there is no way he would have left the guy's house without the game.
