Getting scammed on Craigslist
LoL so someone is trying to scam me on a watch I am selling. I can pick up these scams a mile away, here is a little scam someone started with me and my response so far. I'll update it as I keep getting emails from the guy.
Oh you know, just to do those general background checks to make sure that your a real human person. I wouldn't want those evil Decepticons to get my watch and turn it into a deadly robot watch. It is very important we keep the Decepticons from taking over the earth.

Ask him about his sexual preference, what his favorite Vodka-based drink is, and the time, date, and location of his last bowel movement.
BTW, would this watch happen to be that Stuhrling one?

Now that my Fossil's band keeps acting up (the pins are coming out), I'm wearing my Stuhrling more than before, so I am interested. Let me see where I'm at after my next paycheck comes in (Next Thursday)

Just got this E-mail from someone on craigslist whom I E-mailed about an Ipad lol
Hey, sorry for the delayed response, but someone already bought the iPad and picked it up.
You might want to try and buy one where I bought mine at. It's an auction site kind of
like ebay that has quite a few iPads.
I am usually able to pick them up there between $130 and $160, I think it's so cheap
because the site is newer and there aren't many bidders yet. Anyways, I'd recommend you
shop there if your still in need of an iPad. The site is called SaveBigSite.com (I think
they call themselves Save Big now). I just checked and it looks like they have one ending
soon and the bid is at $53 so far.
Hope this helps you!

P.S. Here is a little secret I'll pass on to you. Right now there is a glitch/hack on the
site that will allow you to block other people from bidding on the item. When you place a
bid, hold down the enter key until the auction counts down to 0. This should allow you to
win any auction instantly. But I'm not sure how long it last, I'm sure the site is
working on fixing the glitch/hack.

My reply was, Oh you know what I'm really busy and dont have time to bid on sites. Since it seems like you buy from them a lot. Buy one for $130 and I'll buy it off you for $150, hell I'll buy 2 or 3. So let me know when you get them, thanks. lol
