Price Check Too Good to be True?

[lzicc]

Ain't that the truth. Craigslist could be an awesome place to buy and sale stuff if idiot spammers wouldn't ruin it for everyone. If CL would just monitor it better and make people register to weed out the spammers, it would be great tool to use. They make it too easy for spammers to do their thing. I've emailed CL support to report a spammer. Nothing was done. I didn't even get a response back. It's a shame.

It's a shame people have to ruin a good thing...

Thanks for all the feedback. I sent an email to the address included in the CL ad asking what was wrong with the tractor at that price. Got a reply saying it was in great shape, but that the owner had moved to London and couldn't afford to ship it (like he's got a farm in England or something). Said it was in "the custody of the shipping company..." in Bar Harbor, Maine ready to ship to a new owner. Must have picked the town farthest from Texas and still in the lower 48. Yeah, right!

Had one like that a couple of years ago... told the guy I couldn't believe my luck... my Grandparents farm is in Bar Harbor and I will be there the day after tomorrow for a week and can check it out and pay cash on the spot...

Never heard another word...

It is way low - normal price would be double that or better. If there is no craigslist e-mail link or phone number, and if the whole ad is nested in a big photo, it's bogus. Otherwise, I'd call on it. The scam postings are usually for really stupid numbers like $5k. Dust don't be disappointed if it is bogus.

I've done the same thing - told them a relative lives nearby and will inspect before handing over $100 bills - never heard back.

Someone flagged an ad I had on CL and they pulled it as a scam. It was completely legit. I'm still trying to sell it.

I'm a couple hours from Bar Harbor and could check it out but as far as I know there are no shipping companies in Bar Harbor.

Is it still for sale? What is it? How much is it? It isn't by chance stored in a warehouse in Dallas is it?
