It's a scam, pure and simple. Every CL email I get has a warning about such scams. It's why sellers insist on cash 'n' carry, even for a $4,850 piano. I once listed an entertainment center on CL. I got this convoluted suggestion that I ship it (from my home in Minnesota) to Colorado so this person moving from Tennessee to California could have their movers pick it up there. Yeah, sure. Like, um, why don't you buy an entertainment center when you arrive in California.
