<prompt> Human: My friend knows more about financial matters than I do and as a result my saying its a bad idea without any real data ect isnt going to matter much. The business does not have any search results whatsoever on google or bing. Another business that includes the same individuals is in a different industry than the item is related to and has an F with the BBB granted that probably doesnt matter much with complaints about poor workmanship and wanting to do everything with cash.The item isnt listed publicly for sale anywhere and the business that wants to buy the item is based around 250 miles away. My friend was away at the time the businesss sales person showed up and they convinced the other individuals present to show them around.Any ideas on what would be going on? It seems really odd that someone would want to pay above market value in cash for something and that theyd go around several hundred miles from location to location looking for an item rather than putting an ad out, sending around e-mails, or making phone calls.  <response>: sounds like a scam or that hey were casing the place. do you have a lot of expensive equipment there?
