Interesting... I saw this one too - same number, same price, ad still up.

As for scams - I did actually contact another person who was advertising low firewood prices (Cut/Split/Delivered - $120/cord) but they are out of my area so it will cost me $137.50/cord, and they said it is not a scam, but their posts keep getting flagged. They say they have an over-abundance of firewood, want to get rid of it, and since they are selling it so cheap, everyone else selling firewood keeps flagging them and sending them nasty e-mails about being so cheap. I don't have anywhere to dump it yet though. ;-(

Flagged for removal. Must have been a scam.
How do you figure? Maybe the competition didn't like the price and flagged it.
