I posted a Delta shaper on the classifieds here on the Creek and also on my local woodworking club's newsletter. I got zero interest from both, not even a question let alone an offer to negotiate price. This morning I posted it on Craig's list and literally within a couple of minutes I had a contact expressing interest, no name, no contact info. I replied to the email (maybe I now regret that) and got a quick reply back saying he was at work on a ranch unable to pick it up personally, but would pay by check ($50 extra if I would take it off Craig's list immediately) and arrange a shipping company to come get it.
Given the warnings on Craig's list about scammers, given the grammatical errors in the contact, given still no name or contact info about him, and given the extreme interest in an item that garnered no interest here, I am going to ignore him and consider him a scam.
Anybody here that would do otherwise?
