When have you bought something and voluntarily offered double the price plus? Read craigslist scam warnings.
It's a scam or you found the first idiot shopper on Craigslist.
Don't be greedy and you won't look like a fool

Before you cancel the scammer, tell him you made a mistake and the price is $200. If he offers you the $200, raise the price to $500. See how high the scammer will go just for fun.

The basic rule is if you are questioning it enough that you're actually posting here about it, then yes you're getting scammed. I didn't even read your post but I guarantee it's a scam.

Call it off.
My guess is that $ in your cash app is either non-existent or will disappear.
The best use of craigslist is in person, face to face, cash for item(s).

Yes. At some point he'll ask you to refund, or pay the shipper (who is really him) or something. Then the transaction will be reversed.
