Is it just me or has craigslist gone down the drain over the past couple of years. I have used CL for buying and selling before, mainly back in 05-08. I've sold an XBOX 360, PS2, Guitar, Bike as well as bought one of my cars off of it.
Anyway, recently I've wanted to sell a few things I don't want to sit while I deploy and the only responses I have gotten have been from scammers.
I'm interested, and consider it sold, I'm buying it for my father and
payment would be through ******, my agent will come for pick up,
actually I'm working in a ship and most time I am off shore. Expecting
your prompt reply, with the name and email address on the your ******
account so that I can make the payment and please provide me with
recent pictures including this item so I can see the condition before
we proceed since I would not be seen it in person so I can make a
payment right away, and pick up would at your residence. And lastly,
I'm offering additional $100 to your final price for you to keep it
off from other offer. If you don't have ****** account yet, it is
very easy to set up, go to
http://www.******.com and get it set up..
looking forward to your response.
Regards.
or
I appreciate your prompt response, I am offering $600 USD for the item
and $80 USD for postage, payment will be made through ****** as soon
as You get back to Me with your ****** email id so i can forward
payment to you right away, I will also like some pictures of the
item.Many Thanks.
What gives? Do real people just not use CL anymore or what? First world problems...I know.
