For those that didnt get to see it the deal looked fairly legit. It was a 2001 Hydrasports 22' CC with a 2004 200 Etec and a new trailer for $7000. The part that was convinicing was that the seller said he was going through a divorce and would sell the boat for his pay off rather than have to compensate his ex-wife for the book value of 22,000. He didnt list any email just an 856 area code phone number. I don't know if it was a scam or just a great deal. I really hope it was a scam because I told my wife about it and she said I should buy it

The listing however was flagged for removal by Craigslist, oh well. Too good to be true than it probably is.

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.
