I have been trying to buy a ATV for a month now. I am finding that on Craigslist that people are advertising in a area, however they have the machine on the other side of the US. Almost all of these people say they are in the military and are leaving for Iraq. They will ship the quad to me and I get to inspect it and decide if I want it. They use ebay for the transaction for security. Does anyone know anything about this type of deal. Sounds fishy to me!

 

it's a scam

 

stick to the local machines that you can physically test yourself. it will be worth your wait to not get screwed over.

 

Scam all the way man, dont throw your hard earned cash away.

 

99.9% of the time, it's a scam.

Of course, you can always tell them you're an Ethiopian prince that has 10 million dollars that you'd be more than happy to share with them if they would just send you their banking information.

 

Haha, I have actually done that. They, ironically, got upset and sent me a not so nice reply. I just replied back "Now you know how we feel".

 

That's too damn funny!!! And a good idea!!
