      Dude... That's an iPhone XS (or XS Max). Can't be over a few months old, and is definitely worth $1200 CAD (which is like $900 USD). Even a year old iPhone X goes for around $900 CAD on the used market.

He played the waiting game and said "Well do you want to take the money"...using the old carrot in front of the face method.

    Or instead of checking the bills at a bank... When you are selling something to someone you don't know then you have them meet you at the police station. When that man got killed selling his truck on craigslist the police started suggesting that sellers and buyers meet where it is safe for both sides. Someone looking to scam you is not going to be willing to meet at a police station so it really is the safest bet you can make!
