Craigslist tractor scam?

[PILOON]

Hey, is this a good deal??

King Farm 28 John Deere 643

I'm surprised they don't want more considering it has a "sun visor"?

Special note!
Do not contact advertiser with unsolicited advertisements, LOL

The Military folk are taking a BEATING by being sent back to Afghanistan.

Here is her contact email:

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in purchasing my 2011 John Deere XUV 855D CAMO. I am the first owner and I have the clear title on my hand. This machine has always been professionally serviced and has zero issues whatsoever. It has only 180 miles on it and has been always stored inside. This machine is in great shape, everything from the headlights, brakes, 4wd, brake lights, no popping axles, or torn boots, steering is tight, etc all work flawlessly. The fenders have no fading or deep gouges or cracks. It has a very very nice fortress cab with sliding back, sliding up and down front windshield. It is also an insulated cab and a fortress top storage box. Has heavy duty bumper and warn winch, brand new 14" diesel wheels with 30" tires, halogen spotlights on front and rear with rocker switches on the factory dash panel. This is a really nice machine with tons of power!!!
I am selling this machine because I am in the military and my unit will be sent back to Afghanistan. I don't want it get old in my garage. The price is low because I need to sell it before September 15th. If you are interested, it's still available for sale and the price, as stated in the ad, is $2,500.


Thanks,

Ssgt. Diana Burton

There must be something wrong with those XUV's. They're being sold everywhere under $2,500.

Craigslist search nationwide.

I'd worry about that XUV. If it has 180 hours AND 180 miles, I wonder what operating at an average of 60 MPH would do to that machine. :laughing:

I like this guys statement at the end of his description. "I DO NOT TEXT,DO NOT SHIP,CASH ONLY.SO ALL YOU CONS DONT WAST MY TIME.GET A JOB." The next time I sell something on Craigslist I may borrow that line. I am not sure it will deter the cons much but is funny.

Recently I received numerous con texts asking if I still had a tiller for sale that I had posted on Craigslist. This is the way I responded to one of them just to see what they would do. "Price is going up $100 per second. Act fast!" They responded back wanting to send me a certified US bank check.

I was looking for a particular type of medical therapy machine: a recumbent trainer made by NuStep. Found one advertised locally - and got a "story" as well. They had it at their apartment in CT, had to move out, moved to Omaha, Nebraska and their "agent" would ship.

Then I found the same ad on CT CL, and FL Cl, and several other places. I bought one new, and when I went to sell it the prospective buyer looked up my email, googled, etc to make sure it was legit.

But the best one is that my son put his AirSoft rifle up for sale on CL, and a guy offered to trade him "Vapes, or weed."

Not only did this idiot post a total scam, but look at the pic he attached. :laughing:
