Hey Guys, anyone want to see what a Craigslist scam looks like?
Hey all,
Perhaps I shouldn't post this as there is an off chance its both legit and a fellow member. But I have a real sneaking suspicion that this a yet another Craigslist congame. So first, here is listing (read, enjoy):
http://knoxville.craigslist.org/tag/1934025669.html
Keep in mind that I was planning to offer a somewhat lowball offer of 1500 if it was still available. Not just because I am cheap but also because I have never played Twilight Zone so I can't vouch that its a kick ass pinball.
And here is the reply I get,
Hi
Please apologize me for my delayed response. The pinball machine is in perfect working condition. This game works perfectly and has always been in a non-smoking home. I`m selling it because i need money for my house mortgage and i`m in a time crunch.
The price is $2,500 and the machine will be delivered from GA but so i can enlarge my perspectives, i listed it on numerous states. Delivery will take no more than 3-5 days.
My work involves a lot of travelling, so my ONLY option to manage the transaction, is trough Google Checkout Program, which means that you can be able to inspect the machine before i receive payment. You will have 5 days to inspect and verify the machine before the money reach my account. If by any reason the machine is not as described, or if you find any problems with it I will pay for the returning fees and Google Checkout will refund your money.
I'm sure it won't be the case because it's like new. I apologize if it seems like I'm pushing on this deal but I really want to be sure everything is clarified before any further steps.
If you're still interested please reply and i will explain you the exact steps of the transaction
Hope to hear from you soon,

Now I can't be sure this is a con. And if this is a fellow KLOV member, consider this a bump and assist of the sale of your machine. But considering that the reply quotes a price that is higher than the Craigslist listing just makes my spidey con sense tingle. But hey, your comments are welcomed and encouraged.
