Look, people are debating this because not everyone is glued to the web every single day, you know? It’s been years since some folks even touched a computer....
Honestly, it’s way better for people to just hop on here, ask around, and hear some real talk or warnings before they dive in. Better to get a heads-up now than to fall for some scam and end up flushing their hard-earned cash down the toilet.

Let's see what kind of answer we get out of him.
Man, seriously, let me know how the chat goes with this guy and at what point he probably decides to flake out.
It looks like this scammer has only expanded his little operation using cars, unfortunately :-(
This is exactly what I was getting at...
Check out this suggestion from an email...
You could always mess around with him for a bit and see how it goes... but honestly, I’m 99% sure he’ll be breathing down your neck for a shipping confirmation before you even know it.
Honestly, I think you’re totally right to be suspicious about this being a scam... I mean, why is someone from the UK surfing around Craigslist all day? It just doesn't add up.
Plus, those old-school stories involving Nigeria and all that nonsense are super common in these types of setups...
In my book, it’s just not worth the headache or the risk.
hehe, a buddy of mine says to me while visiting at the hospital... "man... your surgery couldn't have even been a hassle since you had two types of anesthesia" :-)
you know, the boozy kind and the general kind :-)
but anyway, back to the actual topic... a fractured fibula (jaw area)... general anesthesia... and everything went totally fine. I just remember those bright lights overhead being the last thing I saw, then waking up all groggy in the afternoon about an hour and a half after the procedure :-) no nausea or anything weird.
and honestly, before the operation, I mostly don't remember anyone or anything because of those alcohol fumes :-)
now I've got the hardware removal coming up in a couple of days, and I'm feeling a little uneasy about going under again... but hey, since the first one went smooth, I'm really hoping the second one follows suit :-)
