That may be legit. Scams I've seen are much cheaper and the are quick to respond.

i thought so too until i got a response. didn't answer any questions i asked, stated the "unit" is in T i'm in MD, i said thanks but no thanks/ got a response that said my email is blocked by craigslist so they can't send me pics.

Well darn. Guess they are getting somewhat more realistic. That sucks.

I spotted a good CL tractor scam a few years back and had some fun with them. The tractor was a late model JD compact with backhoe, loader, brush cutter, box blade, and a tandem axle trailer for $3241...kind of an oddball price. I contacted the seller and as you already know it was at a warehouse in Chicago ready to be crated for shipping. I replied back with the good news that I was going to be in Chicago the very next day on business and could they please give me the address of the warehouse so I could have a look at it. You guessed it...never heard back from them. I had fun with it though and so did all my co-workers.

anything without a contact number and real price is a scam. Don't even send money period. After seeing this post I have been flaggin all the seattle area scams, up to 19 so far haha. Seems a little fishy when I search kubota and most are 10-15k then wow a great looking machine for 2137$.......

Also is a scam if they put an email in the ad and it is a weird email

You can try your luck with these :thumbsup:

From time to time I decide to pick on one of these scammers. The one that had me cracking up was a series of e-mails back and forth where I eventually got them to make a phone call. I told them I was at work, cell phones don't work inside the building, and we can't make long distance calls, so they would have to call me. I also used a name that anybody in the U.S. would know to be fake. After they agreed, I gave them the number to the local FBI office....pretty sure they didn't call back after the first try

Unless it's a local used car lot or something - any time there is a phone number or email that is displayed in a .jpg, (a photo) - the ad is bogus, intentionally designed to be untraceable. Legitimate sellers use the 'contact me through Craigslist' feature which shows their identity to Craigslist.
