    no word back yet. I'm guessing it has to be sold after 17 days on SA Craigs list at that price. Truck is gassed up and ready to jet if I'm wrong though.

    Yeah I thought that after 17 days it might be gone - but you could have luck due to the holiday

    maybe so. He edited the add 3 days ago so he either adjusted price or he's testing out new phishing techniques to get me to send him my bank account information. 

    every deal like this I've seen on CL has been a scam but those have all been cars.

    If he says "i'm selling it for my mom and she lives in Florida", I'm out.

    Me too but I figured it was too good to be true. The cart is worth that if not more and it was on for 17 days. I'm still expecting to get an email in broken English saying that he is overseas on business and cannot get back into the country because he is carrying a large amount of cash wondering if I can help...

    I've seen it with cars,boats farm equipment, ATV's and golf carts. Apparently the success rate on these fishing expeditions is quite good.The grammar is pretty good and no cut and paste gmail address though, so maybe legit.

    CL is rife with rental scams.  They advertise short term rentals that are ridiculously cheap and claim to save you $ bypassing VRBO, etc.  They troll real estate sites for photos of actual properties and then advertise them, unbeknownst to the owner.  I’ve read some horror stories that are so bad, they’re funny.  I ran into one once and it smelled funny so I dig a bit and found out how huge the problem is.  In some cases, people showed up to move in and the place was occupied by the owner who knew nothing about any rental, etc.  They all want PayPal for friends, not business PayPal.  Lots of other obvious clues like too good to be true.  First sign of questions and they stop communicating.
    Love you bro!

    I think the original was probably legit. The guy had a pic of his truck licence plate in the background. He's clearly not savvy or he would have answered me or taken the ad down when it sold. 

    That email address is likely getting hammered with people saying they want it so if that ad is still legit, he's a dope.

    More likely someone stole the content and created an ad trying to get people to wire them money or something. i fully expect to hear back from someone.

    @The Cen-Tex Smoker you never know what may happen if you get THAT e-mail.  Highest ranking us official to have sent me a phishing email was Rex 
    Tillerson.  Received it the day before he got fired.  Somehow my failure to quickly respond likely contributed to his down-fall.  =)

    You are on a different email distro than me.

    Did you google image search that pic to see if it came from the web originally?  Maybe Stephen Raichlen?

    Can't win if you dont play.
    I have made some good scores on CL. Agree that it takes way more effort today than it did years ago but sellers go through the same BS with fake buyers and people just fishing for contact info. Really is a shame.
