[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 3010296, member: 423"] I shop it all the time. Don't buy much right now, but you learn to spot scams fast. For cars and motorcycles they will futz with the pictues because they usually are ripped from another ad somewhere else. They'll be fuzzy or distorted. The prices will be way low and wonky sometimes, like $2113 or some ridiculous number. A lot of times they'll list an email in the ad - frequently in the pictures. I bought a car off craigslist last winter, Feb 2016. The ad read well, as in it was sensible, contained a lot of detailed information, had multiple pictures, and had verifying info, like odo picture that matched the listings mileage. One thing we did - that both seller and buyer wanted - was meeting at his bank. He had a lien on the title, so we met at the bank, I gave the bank the payoff amount, received a lien release, gave the seller the remaining and got the title. He had verified funds and I had the title and lien release and keys when we parted. We also met in a public place for a test drive. I'm not giving or asking for someone's address for a test drive or to view an item on craigslist. [/QUOTE]
