I'm confused by the location. Posted under Oakville/Halton ON, labelled as Lucasville NS, but the map shows it in Quebec???
 
With all the bogus location info, I'd worry that it is a scam of some kind. A hard 'no' even at that price.

This is why I do not like buying anything of value through say etransfer far away. Cash in hand and pick up right away.

It cannot be a scam if its sitting in front of you and you are picking it up. Unless I guess its stolen. But I would find it strange to have "hot" shaper. They do not seem to be item one would steal - but I could be wrong.

If the recipients are *not* set up for etransfer automatic deposit, then you can give the password to your agent who is picking it up. Did that for the First, worked well, easy escrow. You only have to trust your agent not the be in cahoots with the prospective thief. If you're at that stage you likely have deeper problems.
