Good idea...

It's fun to mess with them sometimes. You can sometimes get them going and get them to go back and forth with you. It can be intertaining sometimes. Check out this site. It's a site dedi

I find it interesting that it states "NO RESERVE" where the registration should be. My gut says scam...

Yep, 100% scam. Besides everything already mentioned, it looks like it was written by one of those Nigerian 419 'get rich quick' scammers who can't quite master the English language.

BTW, I just looked at the site and it has been flagged for removal already. :clap

If anyone wants to follow up on this let me know, I am close enough I can run over there after work, actually have a sister and brother in law that lives in Pine Bluff, I go there weekly.

My wife got 6 different credit card numbers for one scammer. She played along and kept telling him something must be wrong with the card so he would give her another one. We called the authorities and turned them over to them.

If every Craigslist scam were posted here, it would continuously fill up the latest post page.

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">What I have discovered is if there?s a shipping company involved it?s usually a scam and if something seems to good to be true it usually is!. But the shipping company is a red flag for me.
