Try to get the mobile phone number or pager number of your buyer to facilitate the meeting. Do not waste anymore time with them and walk away from the deal. You'll feel less disgusted and will be better off spending the time arranging another deal with a sincere buyer. Also, at the risk of sounding paranoid, do not let your stuff out of your sight. If both parties are happy, you get to feel the cold, hard, cash in your hands.
Cash is best.
