Our local CL is loaded with these adds. Every day they pop up. I wonder if people fall for this BS.

what makes that an "old trick"? looks like a guy looking for old bikes to me

Posting a Wanted ad in the For Sale section. Send him a list of your $1000 bikes see what he offers.

You should e-mail him a photo of a bluebird and ask him if he is interested.....

I thought the oldest trick was, I'm over seas and I will send you a money order for said item for$200 over your asking price and you keep$50 and when my carrier comes to pick it up you give him the rest! 2 months later bank calls and was a fake mo! Now out product and your own cash!!

I did this a long time ago in the "penny saver" here in town. got a few old bikes for cheap. didn't know it was an old trick. thought it was a wanted ad.

It's really a technicality, but you are supposed to post Wanted ads in Wanted and For Sale ads in For Sale. He's posting a Wanted ad in the For Sale.
