Made a deal for cash money at his asking price, he wanted a deposit of $500, sent the deposit, then apparently he found a better deal. Had to create a Venmo account to send money that he did later refund.
His words...
I am not going to be able to meet you now - my mom fell earlier today and hit her head and I am headed to the airport now to fly down to Florida to check on her - I will reconnect when I get back - I want to send you back your $500 because I don't want to hold it that long - you can resend right before we meet - sorry about the change.
Hope his Mom is okay but has not responded to my request for an update!!
