thats what ive done just waiting if so i will go down see the machine (thats if he has it) and decide to purchase. bargain
Quoted from kwiKimart:Contact the seller and see if it is legit.
Plain and simple.. Do plenty of research! First things first, if you can't contact a seller, then it's probably a scam.
thanks corvair61 i will wait paintionatly if he does not reply i will be annoyed but its better than spending that much but getting nothing
well he may be a dodgie seller so i will tell the link if he is or not if not most probs the machine may be gone and found a new owner

thats where ive herd you frome rudedogg1
most likely its gone as its been up since the 15th of dec but no one could of been on the site so i may be in luck
I wouldn't give anyone here any info regarding these machines till they are in your house or you find out its a scam. Anyone trying to fish for info from you is just wanting to steal it out from under you. Thats just my opinion of course
Yeh when would you ever pay that much for a mm ist unrealistic mainly its £2500 upwards but it was worth a try
They don't normally sell that cheap over here. Only when they don't really exist. All the pins on Craigslist are probably posted by the same person, but they all have different backgrounds in the photos. GNR in particular is outside a house that really looks like it's in the US. There aren't many streets in the UK with house numbers going up to 1308 for starters.

Thats what were here for
It's a scam, plain and simple. Seen the EXACT same post in London, 4 years ago when I got my MB. Same pics and all. I remember the dent on the side rail specifically. Exchanged emails with the guy several times, got irate with me when I wanted to pay through PayPal, saying his friend was scammed through PayPal. He demanded a wire transfer, so I took a HUGE gamble, sent a deposite of $500, said I'd send the rest when I got confirmation of shipment. He threw another fit saying that if I didn't trust him then he'll just sell it to someone else. Eventually he said okay to the deposit. Sent him the money. And that's the last I ever heard from him. Set up a false name for the wire transfer account. I tried to contact CL and various other Internet fraud agencies, and I never heard a damn word back from anyone.
Bet you this guy does this, only replies to overseas inquiries, makes a few thousand, then lays low for a few years. Rinse. Repeat.
Douchebag.
thanks better look somewhere else and buy machines off the people i know and trust you never know whos out their trying to steal your money
I know im going to call him later hes reserving it fir me apparently going down ti see it later this month thats if he has it
It's definitely a scam, and if it wasn't a scam, by posting here, you just alerted 500 people to the deal, half of which are trying to contact the seller just in case it isn't. Zerg rush! LOL
My uncle.He recently passed away and I have to sell his belongings
Thats what the guy said with the scamed mm
Yup. As others have said, he refuses to use pay-pal. They apparently "owe" him 900 pounds from before.
If interested, the contact name I received was: Allen Krzysztof Carapatru
Someone please trap or report this guy now, so no one has to get taken advantage of again, like I did. This guy is a piece of work.
He's indian from balrampur scammer report him now before he takes people's money I've should never of started this he's saying he's got loads of replies
Quoted from Medieval_Gofers:Seemed too good to be true. If it was indeed legit I'd have been racing you there!
That's what I thought
