Autocycle posted on CL

I posted in the Cl and ebay section an autocycle for sale. Is it a scam or should I be pestering the guy right now?

I believe this may be the person I warned about this but some people evidently think they are really going to get an Aerocycle for $600! I feel bad for those that lose money but you gotta take some of the blame for this.

I've taken the bait before, it was not bike related and was more realistic ,worth wise/rarity/price.. it was via Facebook and I THOUGHT I paid via a covered payment.. wrong..Facebook told me basically " tough luck".. I told them twice.. this is a scam ( they really don't care) the ad stayed up..and they scammed about 5 other poor souls as evident by the scathing " ITS A SCAM!!" " they stole my $!!",etc Feedbacks they got.. THEN the ad was FINALLY removed..
Like I said though..mine wasn't an Aerocycle or Autocycle for hundreds..mine was just a priced to move price..but still..I got burned too

My not having a FB account helps me avoid these scumbags!

Craigslist is pick up only. cash and carry. no deposit ever.

anything else is suspect.
