Scam? I want to purchase something advetised on your site

The problem is, it seems to be a scam. The "owner" replied a couple times to me, but then things started going another direction. They said I had to talk the KHT, "they were handling the sale". When I did a chat session with KHT, it became very appartent this is a scam. Can you tell me if I`m right or not? I want the lift if legitamate, but also don`t want to get ripped off! I copied & attached the chat exchange if you`d like to see it ! I own a manufacturing co. & do business world wide. I`ve seen a lot. It just seems too much like a scam to me, but if I`m wrong I`d like to know that. Thanks, steve

If the seller is causing this many problems, it most likely is a scam. Craigslist is a great place to get deals but it can also be very dangerous. If something feels off to you, do not go for it.
