So I'm selling a pedal and I have an TB offer, does this sound like a scam? HELP!

First of, if this is not a scam and the interested party reads this, please do not get offended, I'm just trying to be safe here. Second, sorry I'm posting this here, I just don't know where else to post it.

Basically I was made an offer for a pedal from a guy that wants to buy it but lives in Vietnam. He offered me 150% of the asked price shipped. Now I looked up shipping costs and it would seem it's worth it. The guy has no feedback and only 19 posts on CL. When I tried PMing him back it said that this user has chosen to not receive PM's and then he PM'ed me again the next day. If this is a scam then I will report the user to the mods so they can take care of it but I don't want to do that until i get another opinion.

Sounds fishy. If he doesn't allow you to respond then how could you make this work? I say just wait for another buyer.

[jetlaggemini]

Yeah right? I went through his posts and threads and they're all about this pedal so he seems a little more legit but still something is off.

One way communication when TB's default (I believe) is for two way? Hmm...

vietnam is a fishy place to ship.
and by the sounds of it, it sounds like a scam.
personally i woudlnt do it.

There might be a language issue, or he might not know that he's got incoming PM's turned off.

You can post a message in your FS thread saying "hey dude I have been trying to contact you but your profile is set to not accept PM's".

I did that and no reply. All is good, I am selling the pedal to a TB member from AL. It's just safer.
