I'd think most people looking to buy something like that would see right through the bullsheet.

Yeah this one was pretty clear that it was not real at $12K. It is just annoying. I can't believe that they make any money doing this. Is it just a numbers game? Eventually someone is going to give them some personal information that they can take advantage of? You would think there is someway to track they guys down and make them disappear, as in worm food.

The problem if you email them and they send you a reply, you open it and it could be a worm. Now they have the ability to hack your email and send contacts other stuff to scam them. I only phone Craig ads. Private sales, only phone and local. As in I can see the item before buying. Don't use email to contact people you don't know!

Well we know that the bottom was found to be free of Osmotic blisters and delamination. The decks are in excellent shape and there are no visible cracks on gimble's. Ha Ha.

Just kidding, the boat in Monaco looks beautiful.

Never really thought about that. I boat on the Delta around the Stockton Area. I was thinking I would email him and say I want to come look at it. I guess I won't.

It was for sale on Craig's list about 2-3 years ago,, same type of deal, you set up a special account that your check would be held in until the deal was made ,, was supposedly a female doctor selling it and had no time to use it . boats was in Colorado but they would bring it to CA for inspection after you set up the special account.
figured it was a scam and dropped it
