Phony buyers on Audiogon


Here's the story:
I'm selling an amp and I get an offer from a non-member to buy it at my asking price. No questions about the amp whatsoever.
While I'm a little suspicious what can I do? So I send him my name and address. Never get a check so send him an e-mail. He has no money and can't buy the amp.
Why would someone offer to buy and want my name and address when they don't intend to? Should I be worried?

probably changed their mind but just don't want to admit it, so made up the "I'm broke" excuse instead. Doubtful that someone would hunt you down for a $950 component if that's your concern? Don't lose any sleep over this one...
