Default Meeting a "Shady" Buyer...

So Im selling my old turbo set up that was for my CRX that never made it in the car...since someone else decided that my CRX looked better stripped on the side of the road before I could put it in....

A kid called me at work (I asked him to) and is interested in the kit I have on Ebay, he wants to give me 300$ for it. Of course I am happy with that, and we arranged to meet at a pretty public place.

But Ive got a feeling....this kid could barely speak english on the phone to me, and really didnt seem to know a whole lot about turbo kits, let alone an incomplete homemade kit. Apperently he's got some engine out of a car for a few days and needs my turbo "Right AWAY" Then he starts going into the details of me helping him out.
(I want no part of that...that's why Im selling this stuff to get rid of all of it)

So....should I meet this character, and get my 300 bones? Or is he gonna thump me over the head run away?

Or am I just being too damn paranoid....damn I would have not given this a second thought 5 years ago...see what age does to you!!
