I think that the scammers are getting smarter. I saw a nice Kubota tractor recently on CLIST and guess what? It was a lady going through a divorce who was selling HER HUSBAND's tractor for about 1/4 the value because "she wants it gone and didn't need it." I played along long enough to be certain it was a scam. I just made out like I was local and I wanted to come to see the tractor. Well at that point she says it is at the shipping terminal crated and ready to go to whoever buys it so I can't see it. So, when you suspect a scam, tell them you are local even if you are not and try to line up an appointment. I guarantee if its a scammer they will come up with a bs reason why they can't show it to you.
