So Tired of Dealing with Craigslist

I'm really getting sick of trying to buy stuff on craigs. obviously, this was too good of a deal to get away with ($3000 Frameset), but still. it never works out for me.
here's the ad:

seems ok. weird to sell it for so cheap, but it's worth a inquiry...
here's the response:

Hello,

I am glad you want to purchase my item.I want to let you know that is brand new in original sealed box with all the parts and accessories included. I have attached a pics.

Now, I am out of NY. I am in London.

Look how we will make the deal for our protection:

- You will make the payment by Western Union to my location from London but not to my name (you will use your best friends or wife name for example as receiver's name) so you can be sure that I will not pick up the money until you get the product; so you make a transfer at Western Union and you will give me the transfer's details (SENDER'S NAME AND ADDRESS, RECEIVER'S NAME, MTCN) so I can check that the transfer was made. After I verify it you will get the item in max 3 days by DHL.

- Only after you will receive the product and check it, you will have to change the receiver's name of the transfer to my name so I can collect my money.

Please let me know your answer and send me your full name and your full shipping address, and I will provide you my full name and full address for payment.

Thank you!
do people actually go for this stuff?
