I'm not certain if this is the proper place to make folks aware of this. If not, I apologize

sd.craigslist.org link

This came up not too far from me. When I inquired got the following:
---

"Hi!!

Thanks for your interest in my item, unfortunately a guy bought this from me ahead of you, but I can tell you that I got those items from queebids.com and I resold them for some extra money, easy bucks huh? You can do the same as you want lol.

The trick is to watch for bidding to slow down and then put in a bid. Just bid when there's under 5 seconds left and it's easy to win. That's what I do and I win most of the time. Please do not share my trick with others, competition you know...

Good luck!

Guess the old mantra if it's too good to be true....

Thanks.

Quoted from jibmums:

No pinballer EVER refers to his pin, his machine, his game, his table, etc., as "my item".

Yup, when I saw that response to my inquiry, knew something was up.
