I've been hunting around the Craigslist for some new gear and noticed a bunch of strange sellers. There are the obvious rip off artists that want you to send money to a po box in Africa. And there's the resellers who just buy and sell all day. And then there's a seemingly shady group that posts really cheap prices on gear, puts their telephone number but never calls back. Some will say email with phone number and then never call back. And they'll repost the same ad several days later, so I know the stuff is still available. Are they mining telephone numbers for telemarketers or something?
I finally did get ahold of one guy in the Valley and he had one name on his email, another respond to name in the ad and a completely different name when I called. He was a bit dodgy about meeting so I aborted. What gives?
