Answer in phone-friendly bullets, max 700 words:
- Verdict: Looks fine / Caution / Likely scam, and the main reason.
- Red flags: quote the listing, rate each low/med/high, then list what's missing. Never invent facts.
- Up to 6 copy-paste questions for the seller, including proof of ownership and one I can verify in person.
- Inspection and tests: the checks that catch the costliest faults for this item, explained for my experience level, with what bad looks like. If likely scam, instead say how to verify the seller or walk away.

- Deal-breakers.
- Safe meetup, payment, receipt and stolen check.
