Sounds like either a smokin' good deal.
OR...
Some scammer's really got his game on. Be real interesting for somebody local to ask for some hands-on.  |

It is a great deal, But to good to be true. The post on E-Bay has a more realistic price on it.
That odd shaped do-bro bar is in all 4 sets of add pictures. In the 4 sets of photos the bar is in the exact same place on the neck. In the E-Bay pictures the bar in 1 picture same as other posts, And in 2 other pictures, Bar at different locations on the strings. |

Yeah man, you have to be careful with deals like this. I recently had someone contact me on Reverb to ask if one of my listings was also on Craigslist. Turns out someone just took the photos of something I had on Reverb and was using them to try and scam people.
Never ever buy something to be shipped over CL. Its fine for face to face transactions, but Craigslist has nothing in place to protect buyers from scams like this. There's no vetting process or anything. I know Reverb and eBay aren't perfect but they do have protections in place to try and weed out scammers. |

| My browser crashed when I clicked on the CL link. I couldn't even view it. Now that's sketchy. |

| I got on Craigslist yesterday and flagged all the ads that guy had up. They were all using the same phone number. Well, this morning they have all disappeared. Don’t know if I caused it, but hopefully that crook will look for another way to scam people. |
