Re: [MBZ] Fun W/Craigslist

Coupla months ago a father/son went to buy a car with cash, 'sellers' pulled a gun and tried to rob them, son pulled his gun and started shooting. Can probably find it in a Battle Creek news search. Mitch > On February 9, 2016 at 3:53 PM Rich Thomas via Mercedes > wrote:

Hey! Sell me that computer man, and you better bring cash. Large bills. You know, for change. On Sun, Feb 7, 2016 at 12:04 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Had a computer for sale on CL. Got a response that seemed sort of scammy, > pushy, saw mine when they were

Re: [MBZ] Fun W/Craigslist

I sold a boat prop last week, first sale on CL for me. It sold in less than 24 hours. The guy who bought it presented himself well in email and on the phone. I should not have had him come to the house, newbie mistake, but no harm came of it. He was very excited to get it, showed up with

Re: [MBZ] Fun W/Craigslist

Had a computer for sale on CL. Got a response that seemed sort of scammy, pushy, saw mine when they were going to buy another, etc., etc. Just didn’t have a good feeling about it. Our county sheriff has an area at each of their regional sites where you can meet up for stuff like this.
