It is an apartment building, and his name is one one of the mailboxes, so at least he exists and apparently lives there. As I wrote before, I think that his prices are suspiciously low relative to the Swiss Leica market, and I would certainly be cautious about sending him large amounts of money, especially since with a bank transfer you have no recourse if the deal goes wrong, as opposed to a credit card transaction. If I were you, I would buy a low-value item from him first to see if he is legit.
