Haha There are scammers out of Nigeria, believe it or not. They give you a certified check but then a few days later your bank says the check is no good and you are out of luck. The PayPal request is a new twist for them. Usually they give you a story like they are out on an oil rig and can't make it or they are in Kenya helping orphaned kids. Just be careful. And yes, I do use Craigslist, but when it comes to big ticket items, the scammers crawl out from underneath their rocks!

You got porn?  All I got were wierdo offers and spam.  Some people get all the luck...

Lots of bottom feeders on those bulletin boards.  You are right to be extremely careful.  Good Luck.  Safe Travels.

Oh yes, I'm ahead of those games.  I clearly state "cash only" and I will insist that whomever buys meets me at my bank or theirs so the cash can be verified before I sign over the title or bill of sale.  I've ignored about 2/3 of the emails I've received (not including the porn, although that has gone away lately) because of the content or the sender's email address.  An email address based in the UK just doesn't say "local buyer" to me.

Be careful on Craigslist especially if their grammar seems too perfect and they refer to what you are selling as an "item" Also if they say they can't make it but will send someone else with a certified check OR if they want your Paypal account information. These are all scamming techniques !

My son gets good deals on Craigslist.  When I listed my van all I got were nut jobs.  I was not impressed.

I had someone reply to my Craigslist posting, they lowballed me so badly with their opening offer I almost blew up at them.  After replying - politely - that it was too low he replied with a slightly higher but still lowball offer.  This time I mentioned I was a member of a Rpod forum and knew how much other members were selling theirs for and he was still way low ... no reply since.  Tongue

Our 28 foot Wilderness had a twelve foot slide that really opened up the camper. When we sold it this summer, it was the main reason people bought it. When we bought our RPod, we again went with the slide, and have no regrets.
