    Hey. I investigated a tacoma for sale on craigslist last year in Louisiana for a forum member looking for one.
    I got the same story as this Dassen lady is giving... it would be sent through ebay and I would have several days to make a decision.
    This seller must be in Nigeria (they speak English) LOL!

    [​IMG]Can you still buy a WW II jeep for 50 Dollars?
    Over the years many small ads have offered US army world war 2 jeeps for sale still in shipping crates:
    [​IMG]

    Small ads have appeared for years offering big bargains from government surplus auctions including ex-army jeeps and all kinds of other military vehicles.

    A typical ad might run something like:

    Army surplus clearout - everything must go!

    Jeeps still in original packing cases, complete with all original parts and accessories including : Axes, shovels, gas cans, service tools, grease guns, tyre pumps etc. etc.
    Delivery mileage only.

    Sorry - Out of stock
    (since 1945!)

    Well, shoot.

    I just finished reading this thread and the bank instantly forclosed my house. Also I somehow owe half a million in credit card fees, the FBI is investigating me for tax invasion, and my daughter is pregnant.

    I didn't know I had a daughter.

    Tied several boat anchors to my truck to destroy MPG.
    If you ever run into this it is always a scam. They are ALL over Craigslist. It is always a car with a deal that is too good to be true. And it is indeed too good to be true. After you respond to the email they want to email their mom or dad or relative. I found them all the time when trying to find a good deal on a car for my sons first car. Found lots of good deals, all of had this same method. Super frustrating.
