This one is screaming  fraud.  You write, they respond in a few days how they are in Cananda but have a broker/Ebay 3rd party  handling it, and send a money order. YOu lose your monry.
Run, CL has no security, they accept any  email addy, so they can't go after the scammers, since they can't find them

Could it hurt him to email? If it comes back that way then drop it?

1 - You can click on the send note button in the ad
2 -  i'd be wondering how a person can have the Sign, but still spell Nesbitt's with one T, and no 's

3- Oh, as i mentioned, it's a scam, since the picture is form this web site, and an asking oprice  $650 more

The same way people at car shows have the car there and still write "Camero" on the window card with "Camaro" clearly badged on the car itself.

Welp, there's a sucker born every minute; and as it seems lately, a scammer born every 30 seconds.

Luckily we have the knowledge of a bunch of great folks on this site to keep us straight.
