Could This Guy Have Been Trying To Pick Me Up?

The other evening, I went to Home Depot, looking for a new closet organizer. I was standing in front of the organizers that are similar to what's already in my closets, when an older gentleman approached; this man was probably around 60 years old. He asked me if I was thinking of buying an organizer like those on the shelf. I said yes, then he replied that he had lots of that shelving that he was getting rid of, because he was renovating his closets.

I kind of brushed him off, but he was persistent, and said that he'd give them to me for free. He said that it would cost me a lot of money to buy them new, and that he had all of the necessary brackets that he'd also pass on to me. I was still trying to brush him aside, but he wouldn't let up. I asked if he was serious, and he said yes. He told me to measure my closets, and then to call him, and he'd tell me if they would fit or not. He told me that his name was Arthur, gave me his phone number, and told me to call him during the day.

Two days have passed since that encounter, and I still haven't called him. I'm just worried that he could be some crazy guy, or that he was trying to pick me up, and if he gets my phone number, he'll start harassing me. It was kind of a strange occurrence when you think about it.

Sounds kind of weird. What's this guy doing standing around the Home Depot shelving area trying to take away their business? If he's got free stuff then post some flyers around. He could be a kook.
