I post 1 thing for sale on craigslist and I am bombarded by countless scams asking to send the product first, then they pay later.

I was wondering if anyone here knows of a way to get back at the scammers?

I love posting corvette engines for 150 bucks with a picture off google of a realistic ls1 engine for sale, add a bunch of bullshit detail so it looks legit, and put the scammers email address or phone number, or better yet, if they give you their address just post the address on the ad and put in the description "no calls, first come first serve" so they get a bunch of pissed off gearheads coming to their house.

I like the "ad: can you send pictures of the item?" the best. Because the hi-resolution pictures I took with all of the elaboration wasn't enough..

Or when you sell something like a GPS for twenty bucks because you lost the bracket. and the craigslist ad says "Garmin GPS - NO BRACKET - 20 bucks" and the description says "paid 199, lost the windshield bracket, hence the outrageously low price for a really nice top of the line GPS. You can get a universal winshield mount at walmart or pepboys for 10 bucks." and you get 10 people call you saying "IM COMING RIGHT NOW, WHATS YOUR ADDRESS?" and 9 out of the 10 say "wheres the bracket? no I don't want this..."

I fucking hate living in New New Mexico.

Not a reflection on you, of course ... but when i see an ad like that my first thought would be "because half the bracket stayed in the car from which it was stolen". cn

suction cup and the GPS snaps into it.. I don't remember if I broke the bracket or lost, it. All the pot I've smoked since then + how baked I am now = no way in hell.

Then my initial reaction was based on my bad. Sorry about that. I'd fIgure glue or screws for the bracket. Raise your price ... makes it look more legit. Weird but maybe true. cn

lol no worries, yeah I just wanted it gone, but its hard for some people to understand such a concept. Like you did, I am sure many people assumed it was stolen.
