    Use common sense if it sounds fishy there is something up and you should walk away. If they want to send you check and have their assistant pick it up then it is a scam. I had someone try to pull this and I gave them the wspd address and the cheif of police's name to send the check to lol

    Big ticket items are known to receive scammer e-mails and/or invites for others to sell your item.. Be cautious when using Craigslist..

    Several years ago I sold a $30k used boat in less than a week. Shortly after I posted we were doing a test drive on the lake and at the end of the week meeting at the bank. I think Craigslist is all about timing.

    To avoid a scam, it's local and "In God we Trust" dead Presidents and have your paper work in order and go to the local bank for Notary Seals

    Re: Craigslist ???????? (Rangerman)

    well with some convincing from my wife, boys i decided to keep my boat
    it is paid for & the chances of me getting another boat soon would be quite a few yrs. away. i did have a couple of guys wanting to see my boat but told them i was not selling it at this time. i sure wish i'd heal up so i could meet all of you....
