I think it is just a fantasist who gets a kick out of sending folk on wild goose chases to the remote west coast of Scotland. Perhaps he thought that sending them to the Orkneys lacked credibility ...
 
If the American media is anything to go by, Craislist is a good place to go if you want to turn up to buy non-existant goods, with cash in hand, resulting in a stabbing and loss of the cash
 
Exactly what i was going to put early, turn up with your cash. Forced to **** yourself with a 4/10 at your head and relieved of your cash.
