Either that price is a misprint or it is a scam no one would sell that Blazer for $2800

Pretty much what I thought.

**FleetsidePaul** · 02-15-2008, 11:04 AM

Also the way its worded like they dont speak English well reminds me of the phoney offshore scams I've seen.

That one was on the ebay up here in Maryland a few weeks back. I remember it because it was local. It wasnt $2800 either.

olblue60@aol.com · 02-16-2008, 12:40 AM

Scam (Just my $.02)

blazerdog · 02-16-2008, 07:08 AM

It was also on austin and dallas

**FleetsidePaul** · 02-16-2008, 08:09 AM

"buy my lovley car today'

LOL! who, but an overseas scammer would start the ad like that.

Generally deals that sound to good to be true......usually are.

Just another one of the joys of the internet!

Huck · 02-16-2008, 09:04 PM

About 75% of the CraigList "GOOD DEALS" turn out to be BS. Craig's list doesn't do much to prevent scamers from listing and relisting so beware. If it's not local and needs shipping, it is a scam. Now---based on my personal experience---maybe 25% of the good deals are truly GOOD DEALS but you have to get on them quick. I would not do anything without a phone conversation and a personal "touchy feeley" ---and that applies to Craigs or e-bay. Huck

bouncytruck · 02-16-2008, 10:44 PM

It was listed twice on the Seattle Craigslist the other day.

**BAD4X4** · 02-17-2008, 10:48 AM

Yeah I saw it on portland one too......

Huck · 02-17-2008, 09:10 PM

Got to wonder how often this acutally pays off for the lister??
