Stim wrote:Not so fast! That is obviously a scammer but I have gotten some smokin' deals on craigslist.org . There are some clone sites out there (cl .com) which is why I posted the real address.
I just bought a 1989 27' Class A off of CL for $1500. I drove it home! The owners wife told him to get it out of the yard, she was tired of looking at it and not using it. I have it ready to use and only spent another $600. on it including two front tires which were still OK but I wanted them new on the steering axle. I called 10 minutes after it was listed and went straight up to look at it 10 miles away. Their phone was ringing off of the hook!
I also bought a $2500. metal working machine for $600. and a 19' $7500. boat for $5500. You have to be quick to get the good deals and know what you are looking at.
Agree. We've sold several vehicles through Craigslist very quickly. One within 3 hours of posting. It's a valuable tool that we'll continue to use.

I have had very good luck selling on Craigs list. I just sold my 2001 Dodge Dakota for a fair price,last month. I had three buyers fighting over it. Two of them were racing to my house with cash. I also sold my old car hauler trailer that needed a lot of work. I listed it at midnight,and someone woke me up at 6AM,He came right over and paid cash. Also sold lots of other stuff that was too big to ship on a EBAY sale.

Stick to the better sites & the results will be better.
Phooey!

Phooey me if you like, but I buy and sell in excess of 1,000 vehicles per year.....and you? Based on my experience, and not just a piecemeal single purchase here or there, I do know what I'm talking about. This is my living, and 27 years of successful experience qualify me to make the statements I did. You want the 'real' sites to go to? PM me.

I saw a report on one of the TV stations about one of these ads. It turned out that the picture was legitimate but the ad wasn't. They posted the ad in a city where a relative of the coach owner lived and they recognized the photo as one that was taken in their driveway! Again the EBay storage lot and EBay payment etc, etc. I though it was comical that a car dealer actual took a shot at Craigs List when most of their ads are just as misleading. Like "your out of pocket is only 1/2 of MSRP".....It's a lease and you aren't buying the car! DUH!

I sent the below message to this scammer; it will be interesting to see if I get a reply.
I have a brother that lives in Seattle; who is interested; send the address so he can come look at the motorhome.
If this is a scam, he will hunt you down, he's a detective
