Selling my Mamyia RB67 on Craigslist, am I getting scammed?

Need to make some quick $$ for Christmas.
Pull my old Mamyia out of the closet because I have not touched it in years.
I'm in Los Angeles areas so use that Craigslist.
After a few hours I get a text.
"What is you firm price?"
"$500" (listed in ad as firm and "I looked these up on ebay and that is a fair price.")
"Do you have a paypal account?"
"I would prefer to be paid in cash."
"OMG of course I will pay you first!"
"What is your location?"
"New York"

I have sold a few things off craigslist but always face to face and for cash.

Can't help but notice CL say "avoid scams, deal only localy".

Big problem is the camera is HEAVY, comes with the factory fitted aluminum case, two lens, a couple backs, prism viewfinder, so shipping will be rather pricey.
