Craigslist has changed for the better since the last time I used it. Recently I posted a pic of my 18 hp kohler with a mouse nest, which I got off craigslist wanted to buy. I got it for $35. I wanted just the parts, ign coils, carb, starter, voltage regulator.
Two days ago I posted the same pics on craigslist to sell the engine block, when I discovered they have a new way of doing business. They send you back via your email where you have to confirm your post, manage it, and even delete it.
I sold the block for $50. Before removing the starter I even showed the buyer that it had no compression on #1 cylinder and the push rod was off the exhaust valve. He didn't care. He just wanted the rest for parts.
I've seen a lot of scams on craigslists. However I've had good luck buying and selling things there. I even told the buyer, who was coming at 5 pm, that another man wanted the heads for parts and he wanted me to show it before he got there. I told the second man he would have to wait. I gave my word to the first I would be there at 5. The first man thanked me for waiting on him. He said not everyone would do that.
I am a fan of craigslist.
