I am not sure why you think it is a scam.
First, the area code is meaningless. It is a southern california area code, L.A. specifically. Since it is likely a cell number and he may actually be from L.A., you cannot attribute this fact to dishonesty. People move all the time, they take their phones with them now.
Second, he is offering to pay you thru Paypal and won't pick up the equipment until the payment clears. If he gave you a check and told you to deposit it into Bank of America and wait until it cleared...would you still be worried or is it just because Paypal is an on-line bank account?
And finally, at this point in time, it is not unsual for someone to buy something without seeing it. Not the smartest thing to do, but it is pretty normal.
I guess I never understand the resistance to Paypal. I run into this all the time. If people would take Paypal I can get them paid instantly. But I keep running into people who act like I am trying to pull something because I am willing to send them funds thru a secure third party, directly into their hands. I often wonder if Western Union ran into this sort of thing back in the day? Right now I owe a guy $10 for postage on some manuals. He wants me to send him a $10 bill, in the mail, thru two different country's postal services. Now I only leave the house this time of year once each week and only have a couple singles and a bunch of twenties in my wallet. So I have to get someone to break a bill for me and then (HE) risk it gets lost in the mail. I don't want this fella, should he read this, to think I am picking on him BUT it would be a lot easier and safer all the way around if I could just send it via Paypal.
