Response from Craigslist - does this sound fishy...?

That's sure a lot of hassle to sell him slow parts.

Might be slow, but I bet it has less scratches in the paint than your truck.

Hmm... You've gotta be careful with weirdos out there. Have him send the "certified check" to your work address. Tell him it will take 7 days for your bank to process everything. If and when you get the check, take it immediately to the bank and have them process it. If everything is cool after the bank checks it out, then he was legit---but VERY weird... And make sure you are rolling like 10 deep when his shipper arrives...

I sent a one line reply and asked him what he's putting the converter in. That should induce an interesting reply..

[1slow01z71]

Did you get a new truck?


All those sound fishy just for the simple fact NONE of them say anything about a converter they all say item, a typical canned email phony email.

[DamnYankee]

I'm with ya - they're definitely not legit. I'm gonna have fun with it though.

No new truck yet. Just got the 6.0 and tranny for when I sell mine and get the next one.

shit its THAT dr. collins? That dude lives down the road from me over here. Nice dude. I caught him taking a peep at the inside of my truck the night before it got broken into. But im sure he is legit..

[txarkitekt]

Legit for being an absolute MORON! Watch him say it's going into a Focus or something...
