I will buy/pick up cardboard boxes made of thick cardboard for moving (from under the air conditioner or something like that). Preferably the area of Futoshki market.
Never pay down a deposit in a bank account until you have met the seller, seen signed a purchase agreement.
No serious private advertisers ask for a down payment before you meet.
