I thought I'd give Craigslist one last try. I put a tool up, gave all the specs, price, my phone number, said I had a couple photos, etc. I also posted, at the end, that spammers and scammers should save their breath.
It has been up about three hours. I just got my first scammer, supposedly up in Vianna, VA, but unable to write English really coherently. He wants me to take a cashier's check, to which he'll add
50 bucks for my inconvenience. Is "inconvenience" another word for getting screwed out of money?I emailed him back, telling him to check the notes on scammers at the end of the ad.
I probably should have agreed to the deal, waited until his agent showed up, and hammered the shit out of him just for practice. Except the agent is probably some DC doofus without a real idea of what's going on.
