Thanks for the response and am satisfied with the condition on the
list, I wouldn't be able to come for the viewing due to a sudden
change in my work schedule and CORONA VIRUS PROBLEM. Kindly withdraw
the advert from the list and considered it sold. I will add an extra
$50 with the original price while you remove the ads. I will overnight
a Cashier Check/ Certified Check drawn from a local bank to you, and I
will make the pick up arrangement as soon as you have the check clear
and your have your cash, I would have loved to come and take a look
and purchase with cash, but my work schedule is tight. So, I'll need
you to provide me with the following information to overnight the
Payment :
Name to be on the payment ...........
Address to mail the check to ........
City, state, and Zip code ............
Last Asking price...................
Phone number to text you on .........
The check will be overnight to you asap and deliver to you within
24hours. hope to read back from you soon

Best Regards

Guess this is latest scam,Nigerian prince must have run it course.seller beware :lol:

I have also had this happen. Do people really fall for this crap? I also HATE the smoking too good to be true deals on certain things....how does craigslist allow them? I have also tried to get in contact with sellers on multiple occasions on seemingly legit adds and don't get a response. CL plain pisses me off!

CL does not monitor things well and have lost many buyers and sellers moving to Facebook and other venues. FWIW I probably get 10 responses on Facebook for every 1 on Craigslist and seem to get answers on things I want. I gave up on CL. I hate FB but it is a good place to sell on. That of course will vary for everyone.

I cannot believe how many $5 items are listed on facebook. Is it really worth having strangers come to your home for $5?

WTF... I have bought several things from Craigslist my stoker, a couple lathes, a badsaw, several specialty tools. I have never sold anything though.

I always tell the seller that I am armed the second they greet me. Surprisingly every seller I have encountered has replied so am I and there has never been a problem. Their are too many weirdos to take risks.
