Did anyone else see this?

It makes me wonder, what kind of person would make a prank ad that only 1 in a million would even recognize as valuable? I think telling a knock knock joke in Latin would reach a larger population.
If this Ad is a sham, I would bet the perpetrator was a friend or "frenemy" of someone in Chicago trying to pull a fast one on someone local.

Its got to be a scam. I responded to that shortly after it was posted, didnt hear anything. I asked two more times and nothing. I agree with previous statement. Most people have no idea about brand names of their TV. Who would go through the effort of a model number and actually say its a "color" TV. Ive yet to see that on craigslist. Most people just say heres and old TV and almost always have a picture to prove it. Its up to you to figure out what it is.

I'm not sure how some of these scams work, but not all of them on c-list involve white van speakers or a two-year-old car for $3500.

Last year I listed a station wagon on c-list for $1500. Nothing special or valuable, an '81 Catalina Safari. About 2 weeks later I got a call from someone in Tacoma, Washington wanting to come drive the car. I'm in New Orleans! Someone copied my ad, removed most of my description, and added their e-mail but forgot to remove my phone number and posted it on a c-list up there. Glad I didn't get more phone calls.

Anything to steal a buck...
