Here's the post before it gets flagged for removal.

The description and pictures look unique enough, but when I pinged the seller, I got a response below with a bogus name, email and scam. When I tried to respond and tell them off, it bounced back. Strange that a unique post about a red tent ended up being a scammer. I wonder whose red tent pics those are.

Hey

Just sold this to someone else, but I can tell you where I got it from.
I just bought 3 of these from bidswoops.com and I resold them on craigslist for some extra money.

The trick is to watch for bidding to slow down and then put in a bid. That's what I do and I win most of the time.

Nintendo Vs. Dual Arcade Super Mario Bros. - $458 (emeryville)

I have a nice Nintendo Vs. Dual System (Red Tent) Arcade system. The game has Vs. Mario Bros. and Vs. Goonies in it. It has the complete coin op mechanism but I do not have keys. New locks are very inexpensive online. Everything is open right now and turned to free play. These are an awesome piece of video gaming history. Vs. Games can be changed out to play different games. Some Vs. Games can even be played in a four player mode on both sides of the cabinet. The cabinet has been repainted. I must say it was not the best paint job. monitors have slight burn in. I am asking $458 or best offer. If you are seeing this ad then this item is still for sale

Craigslist is FLOODED with those fake posts, you can tell because they usually post a weird location and they post in the "dealer" section and not owner. They also use weird prices, you'll see the ad that they stole had a phone number in it and they just remove it and put (please email) in place of it but leave the "call or text" part. I have a program that will register an email on tons of spam lists and they will get flooded, I tried adding a bunch of their Craigslist respond email addresses into it hoping to flat out flood them but I don't know if it's working or not
