<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2395661, member: 36230&quot;]While I agree that such an item on Craigslist is odd, we must remember that it is just an advertising venue, and a free one at that; as the old saying goes, &quot;nothing ventured, nothing gained&quot;. The seller&#039;s willingness to proceed via a 3rd party also suggests this is nothing more than him trying to get a few sets of free eyes on the note rather than actually expecting someone to directly purchase it in a McDonald&#039;s parking lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for having zero recourse, perhaps, but such situations also promotes buyer due diligence and personal responsibility, both of which are sorely lacking in much of this hobby today. I realize it is hard for some&nbsp; (not you, Paul) to fathom, but there was a time when the great overlord ebay wasn&#039;t there to protect the stupid from themselves, and people were actually forced to think about and accept responsibility for their own purchasing decisions. Crazy talk, I know!</p><p><br /></p><p>On a lighter note though... I was surprised that the &quot;original owner&quot;, at his surely very rip old age, both knows of and how to use Craigslist. Gotta love a salesman. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
