Sounds like a smart con artist. Be careful. Some of my family have come very close to being ripped off by con artist on Craig's list. I never have trusted Craig's list because there are to many con artist that take advantage of Craig's list to do their dirty work.

Its a scam... job offers across Craigslist usually are, and this type defiantly is one, if its not a phishing scam the guy will send you a list along with a legitimate check to "buy" the items on the list, but you'll find the money doesn't exactly cover the costs of the list and the shipping and he'll ask you to buy the items and you'll be reimbursed when he pays you, which he won't ever do and once he gets the items that will be the last contact you'll have with him because any contact info he provides will be dead.
