Is this a scam,

I put a bike up for sale on Faceachea marketplace, I've had this bike advertised on gumtree and no interest,
I priced it at £200, then dropped it to £150, there was still no interest so, I put it on marketplace and within minutes, I got a reply,
I'll buy it but I'm too busy to pick up, I will send a UPS agent to pick it up, he will bring cash,
I answered, I can deliver if you are local,
I'm in Vannes, came the answer,
I asked can you pay by paypal,
She said no, The agent will bring cash, It all seems a bit iffy to me,
Its not a high end bike going cheap sp why would anyone in France buy one untried and pay a courier ????
alarm bells are ringing,,
what do you say ?

yes, I think it is because, the offer of buying came only minutes after the post, If he or she wanted it that desperately, Why not paypal or transfer ? they must have a UPS signed car/van with forged money going round to buy stuff,
beware folks, be careful out there,
