Sounds like a scam to me. They pop up from time to time in the classifieds here.

Agreed...sounds like a scam...too good to be true. I have seen quite a few of them on Craigslist.

Highly likely this ad is a scam. A close friend of mine just spent two weeks going through the process of "purchasing" a tractor just like this with similar attachments from a "lady" who just lost her husband. Every link and website he checked appeared to be legitimate. Long story short, he's out $8400.

If it seems "too good to be true" it generally is a scam. There seems to always be some sort of sob story that goes along with the low price. If you see obvious scams in the classifieds here on TBN, post an alert in the "News/Feedback" forum and they will get removed.

JD2210 how did your buddy lose his money????? Cash in person at time of pickup is the only way to go.

Obviously he did not check here -
Clues -
"Lady lost her SO"
"Will ship"
"NO you can't see it. it's packed for shipping"

I too bought a tractor (and trailer, BB and FEL) off Craigslist and am out $11.5K
AND PROUD OF IT
But I did the handshake and test drive first.

Somebody needs to write a book on how to give your money to scammers. Make it a mandatory third grade reader nationwide.

See Tommy run.
See Tommy give all his things to Sally
See Sally run
With all of Tommy's things

This is a scam. I checked into this when it was listed for $8400 with a backhoe and lots of other implements. I emailed the seller who said it was at the ebay shipping center in San Jose, Ca. It wasn't even listed on ebay. I asked for the address to go see it and they were not able to provide it. They said ebay would contact me to arrange the purchase details. In this sort of scam, someone pretends to be a company rep. and will ask for some fees up front for shipping. If it were authentic, that would have been a **** of a deal. The person had the same story about her husband. THIS IS A REAL SCAM, BE CAREFUL.

If in Question , Type in the exact wording of the heading of the ad in the google search it Will Bring up any & all places They posted , the Bogus ads & Usually the REAL ad the owner posted they stole the ad from.

The scammers ussually favor tractors , skidsteers & highend luxury cars & trucks . Also Most times but not always they will have an odd prices as well , like $4768 or $8444 . This is What I,ve found out anyway.

The Only legit ones I,ve seen where they are priced cheap , are They are asking like 5 Grand but Then want You to take over their payments . Bob
