An unofficial sticky of doubtful craigslist sales?

Maybe a worthy concept...a semi-official sticky posting possible scams on Craigslist?
They always pop up and commented on here...but then get burried off of page one...
Anyway...I just saw this classic example...

Maybe the title price is for the body alone but then calling the listing an auction is really a red flag of warning...at least in my mind...

If it's inappropriate...well flag it and delete it...or I will if you think I should...
just thought it might be a nice idea to warn us all, again...and again...about deals too good to be true...
keep

[GIFS ARE NOT RENDERED IN QUOTES]

this is kind of pointless... the postings get flagged and deleted, usually withing only a few hours.

or within a few minutes, like the one you linked to.

p.s. white text doesnt show up. not sure if that was on purpose, or if you picked the wrong color, or what.

People shouldn't even POST craigslist deals until they've emailed the person for legitimacy. Never get too attracted to an item on CL, 50% of the time, the person just moved to the UK and their personal assistant will ship it to you after you send them the money.
