"Prefer cash in hand"
"...can do $1200 pick up tonight"
"... I'll give it to you for $1150 cash"
"...ether tonight or tomorrow will be good"
"...no way of taking c/c payment..."
Well that doesn't sound dodgy!

Doesn't sound dodgy to me. If I'm selling something over the internet I'd only take cash in hand if they're picking it up. Credit card? Sure I'll just whip out this handy eftpos machine I carry in my back pocket...
When I was younger, even more naive, and completely new to firearms I bought a scope on Trademe for $100, the brand wasn't advertised but it said suitable for .308. When it arrived it said Leupold Mark 4 on it, thought I'd hit the jackpot when I did some research on the brand. Took it to Allan Millars Hunting and Fishing to see what they thought and I was offered (from memory) $600 cash or a Marlin XS7 for a trade by the manager. I then took it to show the (then) manager at Centrefire McCarthys who said he'd never heard of a Leupold Mark 4 and it must therefore be a fake. I'm not sure what's worse; not being able to tell an obvious fake (for someone in the know, after all the serial number was 8888) or having never heard of a Mark 4? In the end I stuck it on a .17HMR.
You're speaking off the dumbass trying to sell the fake scope, who was the buyer in the auction we're talking about. The seller insisting on cash seems totally legit.
