Some people seem to jump pretty fast to "Address and phone #?"..

Another guy wanted my address as he wants to come look at it, his profile is basically empty to me, I told him we could meet up at a nearby store and he might have gone silent too.
Man no wonder people trade in their cars.

You are not being paranoid at all in my view. It is not uncommon for files in my practice to originate from online seller scenarios. And as noted, using a CPS parking lot - especially if the item has a higher value - is a great way to filter out most people who might be looking to scam / steal from / hurt you.
