Connecticut truck

Allright, who was the lucky devil? Anyone Anyone? It sold in less than 8 hrs I think, nice truck, nice price if it wasn't a scam. Looked too good to be true but a good scammer if it was. Oilcan? I know your a Connecticut man.


I am real bummed about possibly missing out. Can't go into details here about the ad but someone will figure it out. Good luck to whoever gets it.

PM me if you know what I am talking about. Not trying to be cryptic but don't know how to talk about something advertised anymore on this forum..

Please don't blowup my thread by mentioning other sites and ads.THX.

It's okay to mention Ebay, C.List or whatever, just no advertisements or links.

This the brown guy they wanted $13000 for?

Seemed a bit pricey to me. I mean, it's definitely nicer than my truck...but not 2.5x as fancy.

Negatory Sub, looked like my avatar. 5spd, 129k, no rust showing,4wd ,4900. Hartford. What a potential deal!!! No phone #, just link back, I got no reply. Now its been deleted by author. *not my truck, not advertising it, just commiserating over the possible miss* wondering if someone here lucked out. Only posted for 8 hrs. Seems too good to be true but didn't see it in person.Anyone else catch it? I hope they say it was truly a rust bucket, haha.

Didn't have the usual trappings of the scams I am accustomed to.

hey-Hey!!!,
I didn't see this one... I do go to CL for another habbit; vacuum tube hi-fi amps. Those that get my interest and don't have phone numbers get an "I'll take it" note. Works pretty well I think. Ultimately if I have to send off money I get a bit cautious...but nobody has taken my money yet...
cheers,
Douglas

I know of one case where a fellow member on the site I run had his pictures copy and pasted in a craigslist add. I saw the add and was sure I knew the truck. It ended up being a scam. I pm'ed the guy and told him his truck ( in Alaska ) was for sale in Nebraska.

I'm in CT also, and I never noticed it. There was a w250 truck,blue and white, on eBay about six months back that was in awesome shape. That truck sold for something like 2k. I think it was out your way Oilcan64. I wish I had the $$$ for it. My next truck is gonna be a w250 or a 2500 p-pump.

I was hoping to make another trip up to Ct. It's really nice at least up in the northwest corner. maybe a scam but they usually show up in a few cities and the price is rediculously low for the item. Ohh well, been hoping all day to get a phone call, I guess maybe I better hope I don't.
