How much is a used camera in Washington?

How do I avoid scams when buying a used camera locally?
Inspect and test it in person before paying, check that it is signed out of the seller's account, and avoid deposits, gift cards or anyone who wants to move the chat off the marketplace.
Do I pay sales tax on a used camera in Washington?
