Other than that it's pretty good! Wish there was a way to keep your listing at the top but it's fair so who can complain!
Best of luck

it seems like a dumbass process to publish it, but it says it was just published now. i went back and searched and didnt find it?

will it be entered into a national database that will come up on a search, or is it just gonna be stuck in my little city?

LOL. Best Ownage ever though.

A few weeks ago, we had my horse listed for sale on craigslist. Nigerian ***** with typical spam/scam message email. Wife nicely but sternly says she's not for sale to them scamming bastards. They send a reply message saying thats great they agree to sale, let them know our name and where to send the money, phone number etc......

Wife sends reply with her name as Juwanna Kizzimiazz, phone number and address to send the check as the Alvin, TX Police Department.

About a week later we get a return email from said scammer telling us we are ******* and bastards and telling us that we are MF's and other stuff. LOL.

You have to watch out but we have sold quite a bit on craigslist.

It takes awhile for it to show up, but it's there. If you click the link, it'll show you it, or search by model type and price.

Anyone can see it, but they'll have to search in the city (or area) you listed it. You can list it in other areas, but you have to find a workaround to do it and the site will not allow suplicate posts. I usually just create an ad in another city and put the link from the first listing in it, if that makes sense.

Good luck with the sale. I sure do like your truck!!

I drag it out for weeks wasting their time, then when I'm finally done playing with them, I give them the address to the state FBI headquarters internet fraud division as my mailing address. A few have contacted me days later asking if I got the check, I tell them the FBI is holding it for me and that I have forwarded all of their info to them, they usually delete everything promptly.LOL.

It's a shame there isn't a dedicated task force set-up to go after this kinda ****. Not that it's not blatantly obvious what is or isn't a scam but it's so out there and clear as day it would be a quick thing to setup a sting...too bad jurisdiction is a problem!
