Note the gimmick in that search, (search term) followed by site:craigslist.org to limit what's found.

This is a quick way to see if a CL listing is bogus.

That's not the one I was originally looking for though. It was a similar thing but the forum actually sent it like COD for shipping and the guy had to pay a pretty good amount to get it out of the post office or customs. It was hilarious with a blow by blow account on the forum on the situation with opinions and advice from the forum members to string it along.

Noticed one of the scammers ads for a tractor the other day. The ad said the tractor had a clear title.:thumbsup:

Yep, I saw one of those, too.

Well, personally I'd rather an opaque title, those clear ones can be hard to read.

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"?

I'll take a dozen or so.

Looks like over 100 of them for sale.

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

I found a "2011 John Deere XUV 855D CAMO ,180hours.4WD XUV Diesel • Extreme terrain • Bighorn tire • Cargo box with Poly liner, brake & tail lights Fully loaded, Gator XUV855D diesel, power & protection package, hydraulic bed dump, deluxe cab w/ heat & defrost, 6.5' boss v-plow..."... Price $2521

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.

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