          He now says he's sold off one model (dunno the number), but now has only the model SDA250K : 10 for $250. Have asked him if I could buy just one.

              Ah, the old bait and switch technique. This deal has a very strong odor to it.

                  I'd buy them in a heart beat. Got to get at least $500 for 10 of them on ebay.

                      except, for somebody who's using craigslist, he shd know of ebay too. so why is he not selling on ebay?

                          He could have bought a container of items. Returns, insurance, damaged packaging etc. . you don't get to choose what's in it and you often get duplicates.

                              Call the local authorities after you have purchased a few, just let them know his listing is suspicious.

                                  Update : in all my emails with the seller, i had asked for his phone number / address. He never gave any.
                                  His latest email says - " $250 cash, and we can meet somewhere convenient for you". In other words, not at his home...

                                      Yep, think it's safe to say they "fell off the back of a truck". I don't think I'd meet with any where either.
