Could be legit, might not be.
Get the Owner's contact information, contact him directly, ask for more detailed pictures.
Could be that he bought it cheap (police deal) and needs to cash asap.
Might be a scammer might not be.
Do your homework first

What does that RME number mean? Would appear to be a stock number to me.
I would also just add that $420 dollars for a NIB G17 is a ridiculous price, and usually when things are too good to be true, they are.
I wouldn't trust it.
As suggested getting personal contact info would be a good idea, and his willingness to provide such might help with that.
Another suggestion which I usually ask of noobs around here, is to ask the seller to initiate the transfer and provide you the reference number before you pay. At least this way you know he is legit and that the gun exists, before sending money. He doesn't ship anything until he recieves the cash, and it is relatively easy to reverse the transfer if you backed out anyways. Again his willingness to accomodate your concerns will help you decide.
In the end though buying privately online through the mail requires a huge amount of trust from the buyer. It sounds like you already don't trust it, so........

i would guess the serial number
well there you go. EVERY AD IS A SCAM THERE! I dont see why anyone would use that god awful site!
Someone put this NIB Gen 3 G17 up at another site. $420! I asked for a pic and he sent me this. If anyone comes across it online somewhere let me know! Looks like a dealer pic.
If he sent you the picture or e-mail, a buddy of mine said 'NEO Trace' him. Not sure how to work it (couldn't figure it out), but it will tell/show you where his computer is located in the world.

Plus ask for a pic of the other side of the gun showing the serial number. It might also be a dealer selling it.
