Update-I put the first ad in a week ago Sunday. Got the scam e-mail as noted, no other response. Well Craigslist Alaska under boats runs about 100 posts a day, so I am buried at page 5. So at 1145 PM yesterday I resubmited the add[posting just before midnight puts you on the top of the page for that day]. Sure enough a e-mail shows up asking if the "item" is still for sale. Whatever So anyway at 5PM I get a phone call asking about the motor. Me-"would you like to come over and look at it?" Caller-"No I want to come over and buy it". And he did with a wad of $100 bills
So the point is Craigslist is a wonderful buying and selling tool, of course there are crooks on it But they seem unsophisticated . I would not think anyone with more intellect then Conner would be fooled.
