People BEWARE! I can spot scams pretty well these days (especially of craigslist) and this is one of them! If you have something posted on Craigslist and you get an offer form someone asking you to ship your item, don't do it! Sell locally only to be on the safe side! Also anyone offering you more money than what you are asking, is a scam!
