Just run the subject title in Google and you'll get a couple pages of the same wording. This has subject has been brought up several times... and I'm sure lots of people have taken the bait. Guess the scam works since it's a daily practice around here on Craig's list.

i showed this to my buddy who does commercial mowing for a living. he knows all the odds and ins of different brands. to put it bluntly, he said add about $10,000 to that price and you'd have a ball park figure on the low side. that mower is around $14K new.

Its about 10k new.

Here's a link for a local guy that sells used stuff at a pretty decent price. He also lists allot of his stuff on ebay and from what I've seen, it will sell for more on ebay then his asking price on his website.

This mower is a Kubota ZG23 gas with 6650 hours that's in fair shape, but well used. I thought about, looked at it and decided I wanted something newer. His price is $3,500.

You never know. Just arrange to go see it, show up in a truck and trailer with cash and if you can buy it on the spot then great. If he insists on shipping it or there is no way to view it first, then my spidey sense would be tingling.

Some people have no idea what things are worth. I just got an ATV for 1000 bucks because the old lady thought that's all it was worth after her hubby died. Sometimes it's worth looking into things! BUT make sure you always have scam in the back of your mind when seeing deals like this LOL.

I got this email from the Jack:

Hello there,
First of all I want to tell you that the 2005 Kubota ZD21 60" Pro Deck is still available and the price of $2,600.00 includes all the shipping costs and insurance, so you won't have to pay any extra charges. I know that there are numerous offers on the web and I'm glad that you choose to contact me regarding your willingness to purchase. The mower looks and works like new. It only has 140 pampered hours on it and it will come with clear title and all the original manuals.
I have opened a farm two years ago in Medford, OR but it is not working anymore and I decided with my partner to cover some money by selling all the units that we have. I hope that you will understand my situation. E-mail me if you are interested in the purchase.
Many thanks,
Tina Clontz

Come on.... Its amazing, but some people must fall for this...

There is a similar one for a BX23, usually a 2003 or 2004, low hours, etc, for $3900, keeps popping up all over Craigslist. Just for fun, I've emailed a couple if these, the story is always similar to what you got back on the ZD21.

The old adage, "If it sounds too good to be true...." holds true.

I just wish these scanners would stop wasting everyoned time and resources.

Did you sleep well after what you did to the old lady????
