I told him start with buy it now for $2000 with best offer, leave it
to see what kind of watchers and interest he gets then lower the price
until a sale is made.  That said, because you're asking for the item
to be shipped, the seller can refuse on that ground,  you have a
Mexican standoff.  I believe it's ok to say Mexican standoff because
that's a historic not racial reference, having to do with 19th century
Mexican history.
