I would not bother with it unless you are really desperate to sell. If you do sell I would make sure that they also release you from all taxes and custom fees they would incur on their end. Also what would you do if they say that the basses was damaged or never arrived, and ask for a paypal reversal?????

I'd guesstimate a 90%+ chance for fraud or problems with the deal.

Of course there's a 10% chance it will go fine.

No way I'd personally touch it.

I was as well. I wont ship there. He also messaged me on the bass that I marked SOLD earlier this morning when it said SOLD.

Buyer might as well pay for a flight here to come get it.

So, more than 1 person has received similar offers, only today? Sounds a little shady. I might be hesitant.

I wouldn't touch that. No way in hell. Odds are terrific if you do, you'll end up VERY sorry.
