During less hectic parts of the year, I would milk this for all its worth. More time they spend on me, less time they have to scam someone else.

Some other things you can do are to ask for a video call - facetime, whatsapp, facebook, whatever - so you can see that they have the merchandise. Or even just get pictures with a physical note in the pic that indicates that it's 'them' (same username, current date, etc). If they start balking, saying that the item is in some warehouse that they can't get to right now, that's a red flag. If it's a big ticket item, can you find someone you trust in the area of the seller to check it out in person?
Reverse image search is also your friend - see if those pics pop up elsewhere, from a different seller.
And as always, if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is...
