I will be in Birmingham this weekend so I listed my bass on Birmingham’s Craigslist and got a great lead. I think this person is sincere in his interest and I trust him to send me the money.

I mailed him the bass yesterday because he needed it soon. I should get the money for it on Monday or Tuesday because he rushed it. Now I can go and buy the bass I really want.

Come on guys, give me some credit. I didn’t send him the bass but I do wonder how many people buy into this type of garbage. I did ask him for the address that he wants me to send the bass to. Sometimes I like to string these guys out a little.

I list stuff pretty frequently in Nashville and never get scammers but every time I list in a smaller city I get nothing but scammers. Maybe scammers practice on Craigslist until they get really good and then they move to eBay.

Ever been scammed?
