Sent me the exact same questions he sent 918craigslist. I can't imagine people buying a $5000 boat without ever looking at it. Repeatedly asking for my email address so that he can Paypal me the money. Uh, no.

This is what 'Angel' said after replying to my craigslist posting:
Okay, I will like to offer You $2,000 for the item and $80 for postage in Missouri, Payment will be through PayPal as soon as You get back to Me with a valid PayPal email, I will also like some pictures of it.Many Thanks.
Sounded weird since I had posted photos on the ad at craigslist!...so then I looked up this e-mail address and found out others had also heard from this 'person'???
So glad I did!

Same complaint as Marco Polo. Paying full price for a high end ($3K+) Craigslist item sight unseen. Asked for my PayPal address and full name. Seems like a scam. Did not respond.

Offered to pay full price for a substantial item on Milwaukee craigslist (~$1700.00 USD) via Paypal. Please, please, give me your Paypal address and full name. I can see where this is going. I'm out. And I'm going to report to the e-mail address to Craigslist.
