Could it be a police sting? Perhaps, anything is possible.
The location* also suggests that this is legitimate and the seller knows he will get a lot of people who recognize what is offered and whether they are seriously interested without dealing with the tire kickers and bargain hunters that Craigslist tends to bring out.
* - upper middle-class residential neighborhood, high volume of cyclist traffic, and not a lot of places for police to sit without being spotted
