eBay and Craigslist finds

It's a bit fishy I think. No feedback profile, marital troubles as an excuse but 1990 as a username. It's probably alright, but I'd asking some probing questions about the build and receipts and stuff just to be sure.

Also seems a good idea, ask for a bit of history on the frame some papers etc.

What are you thinking, "1990" suggests that they're ~22 years old, robbed the bike and flogging it on eBay?

"cash only to avoid mishaps" potentially could be true, cynic in me says dodgy doesn't want to be traced
