My heart skipped a little beat when I saw a Lucky Hand for sale in CL locally. Looks like I got my hopes up for nothing.

This is all over Craigslist. My boat forum flags a Craigslist ad all the time so people don't get duped. It is the same 3 pics with slightly different wording and new locations all the time. The funny part is...it is actually a member's boat they currently own. The pics were lifted many years ago when it was actually for sale!

I'm thinking and dreading the use of craigslist. Perhaps it's best if sellers place ad-specific information across front-n-center of their images.

I dunno'. I worry. I haven't sold on craigslist.

I've bought and sold on Craigslist.
You get your share of scammers and time wasters, but the scammers are usually easy to spot.

I saw this game listed in the free section. It was within driving distance but I didn't bother to respond. Figured it was either a scam or was going to turn into an auction real quick.

Saw this on KLOV. Looks like they're doing it with arcade games too.
