I agree. But this is a craigslist ad - you don't know yet that the person is a quilter, or even that he or she has a longarm.
I don't think it's unusual to ask for cash - that's certainly what I would do if selling my longarm. And I have sold and purchased things on craigslist without much concern for my safety, but nothing in the $4000 range. Just be extra cautious.
