HELP ME! Am I going to get EBAY scammed?

[paddleking]

I have been searching for an Airstream for a while now and found one on ebay : 2002 Bambi 19 for $10900 as the Buy it now price. The guy had a non-ebay email address. So I emailed him. We have been talking back and forth for about 3 days. He is saying that is the price delivered to my door. This has to be a scam, right? He said to do the transaction through Ebay so we are both covered. Is that true?

Has anybody bought an airstream through Ebay from an individual? The deal seems pretty good obviously.

He even emailed me the serial code number. Can I check to see if that is real?

Anything anybody can tell me would help. I really want a Travel Trailer and am on a budget of about 12 grand. I dont want to be so eiger I end up being punked by some arsehole.

Thanks.
