Default I wonder about Craig's List

I look at Craig's List almost daily but I have to wonder about some of the things on there. I know most things are legit but when I see several ads from the same person and everything is listed as New In Box, Hmmmm. Does anyone else wonder if these items are hot? Especially small items like drills, miter saws, heat guns, recip saws, etc.

it's the free world... but you know if it's really crap someone shud report it then the ad in question [in some cases the isp address] will get blocked.

eBay got this issue sometimes.

but c'mon people [at CL] if you're gonna sell something sell it like a yard sale and keep in mind how much of a difference it is compared to the new thing[better yet don't use deception]

one of the few things I would get disgusted at.

On the other hand they could be buying from some where like this and just reselling.

I think even some folks buy large amounts and then resell it slighty higher [or more higher] to make a little cash....on one or two pieces at a time
