kind of like the JD ???? with 34 hours on it thats a 2012 model that comes with a bushhog, loader, boxblade, trailer, finishmower....all for $6500!!!!

Just send them your paypal and send payment and they will then ship it to you, you wont be able to Inspect the item as its already crated for dilivery!!!

I think retail on that unit with a bar mounted is about $1800, give or take?
 
Three year warranty: I will take it. ;)
 
Well, the ebay description does say, "HOT SAW". That means different things to different folks.
 
WARNING - just saw the same add in the Rockford IL Craigslist a couple days ago. Could still be up for all I know. My Spidey senses are tingling.

Exact same add.
 
Thats how those tractor adds are!!!! the exact same add in multiple locations!
 
The thing that sucks is even if you don't bite on the ad they will sell your email account to everyone and jam your junk mail full of porn and Nigerian scammers. I replied to a chest freezer ad of all things.
 
I get the Nigerian scanners every time I sell stuff!! They want to know if its in good shape and then thy say there dine with paying for It they can't make it to inspect give them your email and PayPal I'd ....so they can then hack it!!! There easy to spot the scanners as a seller now. I just reapont to the texts they send now with sold. There always broken English an. They say the wrong tense and leave words out.

Are you sure they are the ones who have yet to master English?_g
 
big time scam.
 
The ad has been flagged for removal. Same as the old tractor ads. Likely you will get a story about some guy with a son that bought the saw before moving to their current location (in another state), and it is at their old address ready to ship. All you need to do is send them a check or MO to them and they will ship the saw to you (and 12 other suckers). Using a CC is actually a lot safer.
 
riple post, sorry it's far too early in the morning
 
The eBay ad is legit.

These scammers stole the photo from that ad.

This is the same scam every 3 months. Used to be Surplusstore.com, now its overstocksurplusdeals.com... They take your money and a month later the website is gone.

Send an email to the CL ad. You'll get a response from someone directing you to a Website with lots of great deals (domain was created about 3 weeks ago) Then once you pay with a Green Dot card, you never hear from the, again.

Green dot is all they take. And right on the back of the Green dot card, it tells you to NEVER give your pin to ANYONE! Yet they ask you. A total scam.

The eBay guy has caught some flack I'm sure. But his $1,750 and takes Paypal is not as Red flagged as Green dot card and $600..
 
What???
 
OK so someone actually sold the saw on the bay and then the pic was stolen by a scammer.
